Just to nitpick, Intel didn’t create it, they licensed the GMA950 core from Silicon Image. It works reasonably well with OpenGL provided you don’t have heavy GLSL shaders, and you don’t need PBO (it does support PBO, though). It sucks up a lot of memory bandwidth from the CPU though, which can be a problem in itself especially with dual monitors and/or higher resolutions.

You can also use -video opengl with the GMA950 and get hardware scaling/bilinear filtering. GLSL filters will even work, they'll just perform terribly.
