Basically, that would place it slighty above the Radeon 5570/5670 but a bit far from the 5750, with 400 and 720 SP respectively. That means that we can speculate quite accurately about Fusion GPU performance. With two exceptions: Having the GPU directly connected in the same piece of silicon to the CPU means that you have a benefict for basically eliminating their communication latency, and that is better, however, how much of an impact it could make the fact that it would be sharing Memory Bandwidth with the other Cores and with an increased latency compared to the Video Card own VRAM? Well, that is all what is left to know about Fusion GPU besides actual numbers.
Now... What we do know about Sandy Bridge? Do we have a remote idea of its performance? Else, I would still stay at bay until more info surfaces. The worst thing that you can do is saying that you are I N V I N C I B L E and get owned before finishing to say the classic sentence.

BTW... Where the hell is Hans de Vries? It should be useful his input in this Thread after soo many days.
