I've missed those benchmarks.
Its true look em up. Anand Tech did a detailed review on the specs if I remember.
Not quite up to par with GT640 / GT650M but not too horribly far behind either most of the time and it uses half as much total CPU+GPU power in the process.
Full-size GPU? Nowhere close. The whole system is about the size of two PC optical drives stacked together. No space for PCIe slots in there except mPCIe for SSD and WiFi.
"...GeForce GT 650M found in some high-end notebooks."
What? 650M shouldn't even be considered as "high-end". Someone needs to run some benchmarks, because anything below X60M is pretty low end, and X60M is only at best mid-range.
