    Looks like the 5745 is getting a Fermi.

    Yes it is and it looks like another worthless "update" from nVidia- even though this time it's not a rebadge.
    Benchmarks at notebookcheck were made on Aspire 5745PG (Core i5 460M & GeForce 420M) and it loses to HD5650 in all benchmarks and all games.
    So it looks like they did it again- they launched GT 240M six or eight months after ATI had launched HD4650 and now they did the same thing with GT420M- launched a new card 6 months after the competitors and failed to make it any faster than ATI did :/
    There are other Fermi GPUs that will or would be faster than 5650/5730 but I'm afraid it's gonna be a HD5750/5770 carbon copy- meaning either paper launch or these are gonna be available in few notebooks thus basically unavailable for consumers
