Spring on Sandy Bridge chips?

Anyone done performance testing on how Sandy Bridge's GPU works with Spring? Is it a viable third solution or just a new round of compatibility issues for the engine?
Did a search, "Sandy Bridge" is only said 9 times in total, doesn't seem like there's much being said on the subject so far.

When will you guys understand?
Intel does not produce GPUs!
They just have accelerated framebuffers!

Sounds like somebody bought a new PC but was too cheap to buy a real graphics card. ^^

......I'm pretty sure you can run a 5850 in any SB system......
What Caydr is getting at I think is: can people who buy budget sandy bridge based systems play spring.

I have a Sandybridge chipset here but I never tested out the 'gpu' in my i5, I went straight to the GTX550 ti, but I've not encountered any issues so far under Windows 7 x64 with spring, other than the horrendous defaults in the settings app

I actualy used to run Spring on an embedded GPU - everything worked except LUPS. Made CA pretty bad, though, since flamethrower flames were invisible.
