Several websites report tests performed with samples of the future Intel mobile architecture known as Centrino 2, which will feature a new shared-memory graphical chipset, the GMA X4500.
As expected based on previous announcement made by Intel, the GMA X4500 is truly a huge evolution. This new graphical chipset is simply 50% faster than the current X3100 while drivers are not optimized yet, while the current clock frequency is rather low.
If we are far from having the same performance level than high-end dedicated GPU, it might compete with entry level models from AMD and NVidia. For sure, next generation MacBook will benefit from such technology improvement.
