Am I right in thinking this Poulsbo chip has the integrated PowerVR 
graphics core for 3D graphics?

Makes me wonder why Intel don't just buy up PowerVR and then release an 
open source driver (as it seems that for their older GMA chipsets they 
are reasonably good at providing an open source driver).

Might also help them compete a bit better against AMD and NVidia on the 
graphics side of things.
