New Intel Broadwell laptop CPUs (Core M) for light gaming. Any benchmarks out yet?

So Broadwell laptops are actually starting to pop up, if not yet for sale we're at least being shown they exist. I came really close to buying an XPS 12 (the cool one by Dell that has a flip screen and turns into a tablet) but I decided to wait for the next gen to come out (while also saving my money so I could better afford such a luxury). The new lineup doesn't have any XPS laptop (yet...) but I do rather like the new Thinkpad Helix.

I'm wondering though, has anyone benchmarked the new Core M chips for gaming? Most of the Haswell laptops I've seen for sale had Intel HD 4400 graphics, I'm not sure what the new M chips have in terms of graphics to compare to. I know the big push for the M chips has been for battery efficiency, but it would be nice if Intel could have worked it's magic and made it more powerful than it's predecessor as well. KSP on the go on one of these would be really nice...

I did find a few links, but again I'm not sure which laptops use which exact chips.
