For typical desktop workload SB is more then enough, if you want to game -> buy a dedicated GPU.

And if we are at GPUs, even a HD5670 is just enough to play most games at 1280x1024-1650x1050, yet you pay ~80-90€ for such a card. Half of what the cpu costs..
i dont think SB did a very good job with their GPU honestly.

looking at the IGP vs best gpu across time
we got 40SPs back when 800SPs was the max for ati cards, so 1/20 ratio.
this gpu is about the same as 80SP, and it will be double that with their 2C version so around 160SPs,
and when its due, we should see new ATI cards stronger then the current which is already at 1600SPs, which puts the SB gpu under 1/10th of max

basically what im saying is that while SB might beat out all IGPs, those havnt changed much in the last 3 years anyway, and this is going to be as weak as an IGP in 2011. SB will have no purpose being in a miniITX sized case, claiming to be a gaming PC, while Llano will have that ability.
