Speed boost great but.....
Being an intel GPU it'll still be shit.
Intel mobile graphics in 3x boost
Intel uncloaked a few more details on Wednesday about its line of consumer-level 32nm Westmere processors, which were previewed late last year and formally announced at last month's Consumer Electronics Show.

And those chips are built to work without fans, so they won't overheat as easily.
Speed boosted crap is still crap
Speed boosted crap is still crap. The day when intel is forced by competition authorities to exit the video market or delivers product that can compete on merit not on forced bundling will be a good day for the computer industry.
That is besides the fact that Nvidia has had dynamic clocking for ages now.
Mobile graphics run slowly anyway.
Well if Intel are clocking the mobile graphics at 200MHz, it's hardly special bumping them up to 800MHz for very short periods of time, probably when on AC power.
Intel mobile graphics.
So now you can turn the performance all the way up to "abysmal"?
That'll be nice.
Reality filter
With Turbo Boost, your on-board graphics performance will go from "sludge" to "fast sludge".
