I have never benchmarked the various devices, but from what I can tell,
nVidia and ATI are solidly in the performance lead.  At best I would
expect the Intel solutions to be at parity with the 7600s.  The next
jump on the horizon is the GMA4500 which is a DX10 part, but it seems to
be aimed more at the home theatre people.

The only way to be sure is to test drive the hardware if possible.
