    Could be that the vista evaluation system has been updated. originally the intel graphics adapter was very close to the nvidia and ati scores but the real time performance is much different. so microsoft could simply have corrected the scores.

    The Vista performance indexes are very basic and unreliable. Dont bother depending on them for comparison.
