Hi,

I'm curious to know how the graphics performance differs from the recently updated low end 15" rMBP, vs the 2012 counterpart which has a dedicated graphics card.

Does anyone know where I might find such information, or is there a general consensus that integrated graphics at this point don't quite match a dedicated card. Do we know the (shared) memory on the integrated graphic card (Intel).

Thanks

Here is a detailed review which has a 650M MBPr vs Iris Pro in gaming (although not in a MBPr, but in a testbed which would be best case for Iris Pro since it is not constrained by heat).

Overall, if resolution and quality is bumped up .. 650M is around 40% faster than Iris Pro. Margin is less if running at lower resolutions.
