    Wondering, for comparison' sake, what's the pending new Haswell HD5000 GT3 version integrated graphics chipset looking like versus a current discrete solution, like the Nvidia GT640? Roughly equal? 20% slower? 10% faster?

    Just thinking it would be great to have a power-sipping ultrabook without having to shop from only 3-4 offering higher end graphics. It'd be nice to play CoD WaW on decent resolution in an ultrabook without having to pay out the wazoo.

    Thoughts? Speculation?

    regarding performance on the ulv cpus expect HD 4000 level of performance, or so thats what intel told us. When you go quad or dual core expect 2x the performance of the HD 4000
