"As a game developer, I'm excited by them. My games will run badly, but at least now they'll run on even the cheapest computers." As a sidenote, John Carmack was reasonably enthusiastic about the latest generation Intel integrated graphics at QuakeCon 2012 (at YouTube you can find the whole 3,5 hour talk). From http://pcper.com/reviews/Editorial/John-Carmacks-QuakeCon-2012-Keynote http://pcper.com/reviews/Editorial/John-Carmacks-QuakeCon-20...: "Several factors have pushed iD in this direction. First off the hardware is now good enough overall for gaming. The latest Intel processors have a graphics portion that is entirely able to run games at decent resolutions and quality settings." Personally I started playing Counterstrike: Global Offense last week on my 2012 MacBook Air and it performs well (medium settings) on the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000.
