Now that the new Airs are out, can some tech god/goddess give an overview of how the graphics in the new Air (Intel HD Graphics 5000) compare with the NVIDIA GT 650 M?

You could have easily google'd this. Point blank the 650m is still more powerful and the 5000 is more powerful than the 4000. During the presentation I think that they said it was 40% more powerful than the 4000.

And before you want to ask the 650m is still more powerful than the 5200.

This is more benificial for the 13rMBP alongside the Airs but in terms of the 15inch it won't matter because chances are it'll still come with a dGPU that's more powerful than the iGPU.
