I, on the other hand, doubt it.
The HD4000 in my 11" 2012 Air runs my 2560x1440 Thunderbolt Display and its own 1366x768 display without breaking a sweat. I imagine that they've been holding off in order to get Mountain Lion to a point where performance is -- at least -- reasonable on the HD4000. Seems like that time is about now.
only if it cant be done without it, adding an upgraded CPU and GPU will make the entry 13" in the 1699-1799 range
The 2010 MBP 13" had discrete graphics so anything is possible really.
No, it just had one of the better integrated solutions of that time.
Anyone has any idea about the possible native screen resolution of the 13" retina MBP?

Wat? What would be the point of putting there retina display, then?Same as the current 13" MBPs...? It's just going to have double the resolution and set to 1280 by 800 to be readable on a small screen.
And at the time, the nVidia 320M was separate from the CPU, obviously taking up space on the logic board, creating additional heat and using more power. So I feel my point is still valid.
If Apple did this, it would made me sooo happy:
3. Keep other spec unchanged (no RAM soldered to mainboard)
4. Keep price unchanged
If Apple did this, it would made me sooo happy:
1. Throw out DVD reader, put there dedicated graphic.
2. Change display for retina display.
They used an nvidia chipset instead of an intel chipset so no more space was used. The old intel gma 950 and x3100 were on the intel chipset not on the processor, same with the 320m its on an nvidia chipset, so this means that chipset also provides nforce ethernet and other controllers.
