Hmm, looks nice. However with the current state of mobile technology, I'd say it's a bit too early. Perhaps after two or three years.

My oppinion remains the same: Intel does not have decent gpu technology, so they try to capture that market by other means. Even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. Come on - are mobiles in desperate need of physically correct reflections? I don't see any reason why this would be preferable over using a dedicated gpu and rasterization.
