OCWORKBENCH passed the integrated graphics controllers of the Intel G45 and AMD 790GX chipsets together in a quick test.

AMD 790 GXHidden ATI Radeon HD 3300 with an AMD Phenom 9550 (2,2 GHz) in 3DMark06 1787 points while Intel G45Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD with support for the 3,2 GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 only 1180was able to. Even though cards with an integrated graphics controller mostly serve office and home theater machines, making their performance in games a secondary consideration, the difference is still huge and thought-provoking!
