Fastest 16X PCI Express 256-bit Graphics! Intel Extreme Graphics3

What is this, some kind of Chinese or Latin computer knockoff? It'd explain the seemingly random mishmash of terminology and numbers. Not to mention that the only way the word "Fastest" and "Intel Extreme Graphics 3" will be used in the same statement is in "There is no way in f*cking hell that Intel Extreme Graphics 3 is the fastest".

I've got a brand new Mac Mini with an Intel GMA750, and my old GeForce2 outspecs it quite nicely

Maybe they meant "Fastest within the context of Intel's budget GPUs."

"Chief, look! I learned to make fire! Who knows what we could do with this... We should learn to control it!"

"Ridiculous. How can you justify wasting time and effort on this so-called 'fire' when our children are freezing to death at night?"

So- did Intel's practice of taking SGI trademarks and applying them to low-end technologies come out of the Microsoft "cross-licensing" fiasco? Just thinking- "Intel Extreme graphics" "Intel Vpro".
