Surely someone has to have already mentioned this.
Your calculations seem way off. Let's say that video cards do push the entire framebuffer out to the monitor 60 times per second (on each vertical sync), that gives us a need to push out 5308416000 bits (5184000 kilobits, 5062.5 megabits, 4.94 gigabits using the 1024 CS notation) per second at 2560x1440x24 bpp.
the intel hd 3000 is as fast as the nvidia 320m in the actual macbook 13''. so with the fast cpu all is fine.
Have Germans always used inches to denote screen size and not centimetres?
Makes me a bit suspicious.
no! the intel hd 3000 is as fast as the nvidia 320m. please read first the benchmarks and tests.

Dang, that sucks. I was seriously hoping for a higher-resolution display. The 11" MBA has more pixels than the brand new 13" Macbook Pro...I've confirmed these images are legit.

Some of you are being played better than Yo-Yo Ma's cello. Too funny. I'd try to cash a $3 bill before I believed the info at the top of the post.
As for those out there claiming this is simply an "altered" display port connector, look at the big difference with a real DisplayPort connector pic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Displayport-cable.jpg - notice no notch in the middle at the bottom?
Does anyone else suspect that this is a new Macbook? Rumors say they axed the white one so this could be its replacement.
Exactly my point. This is a clear downgrade.Reading through the benchmarks and tests does show it to be slower than the 320M. No MUCH LESS, but definately not up to par with the 320M.
Don't just look at the bars, look at what is tested and remember the 320M is running with a Core 2 Duo processor which is slower than the Sandy Bridge processor used in combination with the Intel 3000 HD graphics.
The only time the Intel graphics were on par or higher than the 320M is when you had a CPU bound scenario and what was being benchmarked was the ability of the processor to feed the video hardware essentially. All GPU bound tests showed the 320M on top.
Going from the 320M to the Intel 3000 HD is a GPU downgrade. The CPU upgrade that comes with it manages to equalize things in certain scenarios which are not graphics intensive.
That's the gist of it.
