Same HD3000 in New MBA as MBP

[tech324]

Anyone know if the new MBA will have the same HD 3000 as the new MBPs have? Everyone talks about processor but I wonder if the graphics will be the same or slower?

probably, but no one knows for certain. the MBA hasn't been released yet

Well, the base clock speeds are slower to keep power consumption down, but at turbo speeds, they are pretty similar. This applies to both CPU and GPU.

Quick question: What would cause the processor to enter the Turbo (overclocking) mode? Would it just be strain and at x percent load, overclock automatically? Or am I missing something?

Quick question: So the only time the graphics skuld be as fast as the PRO graphics skuld be in turbo mode? Would this mean turbo graphics only come with Hugh fan speed/noise?

Very likely to be HD3000, but I hope not.

It'll probably be the HD3000; seeing the target market for the MacBook Air; it shouldn't really be a problem; most task in the Air target market are mostly CPU-bound.
