Intel HD 3000 and 320M

[Alpha.K]

Do both the 320M and HD 3000 have similar performance or is the HD 3000 signifigantly slower than the 320M as it seems people disagree on whether it is only marginally slower or much slower?
Also, considering the Intel drivers are not as mature as nVidia's, would the HD 3000 be able to catch up to the 320m with driver updates?

I'm sure it's only marginally slower at the moment, don't let this reason steer you away from the '11. It more than makes up for it elsewhere.

Frankly, they're both really slow; any sort of comparison is splitting hairs.

The 2011 is faster in every other respect.

I would check this one out also: http://www.techyalert.com/2011/02/25/macbook-pro-2010-vs-macbook-pro-2011/

This guy is doing it live right now. And it looks like the 320m is pulling ahead slightly.
