Sure we raise the baseline, but as it stand igp still and will suck for gaming. Especial since the avarage resolution is increasing. Imho in a view years 1920x1080 will be the new mainstream resolution... even if i hate 16:9 for pcs.
monitors are generally one of the last things upgraded for average joe. they dont realize how quickly the next resolution has come down in price, because they dont think it does, nor do they even look as long as their current monitor works.

1680x1050 is still the current trend, and considering people would be buying a tiny pc, they might not want a super big monitor anyway. they would be happy enough if games looked like their consoles, which a 5570/Llano should do, but a 2C SB still cannot. SB with 2C is ~160 SPs, Llano is 480, how can they even be remotely close in gpu comparisons.
