Yes it will. It's 2.5-3 times as fast. It still won't be fast enough for a lot of games even at minimum settings but it is tremendously faster than an HD 2000/2500.

The Sandy Bridge Intel HD graphics and HD 2000 are the same IGP. The only difference is that certain features are disabled in the drivers when cpu models with the "HD graphics" are detected (quicksync, media insider, hardware accelerated blu-ray 3D decoding, hardware accelerated video post-processing effects, etc.). But they perform exactly the same. The same thing goes for Ivy bridge Intel HD vs. HD 2500.
Protip: The "Intel HD Graphics" name has now been used with 4 completely different IGPs all with completely different architectures, performance, features, drivers, and supported APIs (if you count the upcoming haswell pentium chips which will continue using the name). Intel has invented one of the most confusing product naming systems that I have ever seen.
