i'm kind of outta the "news" as far as this CPU goes, but what can it's on-board GPU be comparable to? for example: nvidia 9800GT? 8800? or is it not even meant to be that beefy of a GPU?

No, but "Delayed Indefinitely" might as well be the same thing as far as most of us are concerned.

Think 2x an older Intel IGP. In other words, not terrible for an IGP, but miserable for any serious use.
"On-chip" sounds miss leading. Usually people say a "chip" is a piece of silicon. The picture is obviously not one die. All they did is move the video card closer to the processor. Technically this is not on-chip graphics, its in package graphics.
