In this test, I think they used the Intel HD Graphics 200 that has 6EU (Execution Unit), and on the higher end CPUs will come equipped with 12EU! The test shows that Intel's integrated graphic beats AMD's fully-fledged Radeon HD 5450 discrete GPU in a number of tests.
The future of IGP (Integrated Graphic Processor) is starting to look brighter and brighter. Based on the results of the test, I think it's safe to say that dolphin could run at "decent" frame rate on the Sandy Bridge IGP. Keep in mind that Intel Sandy Bridge comes in 2 forms, mainstream and high-end. The LGA 1155 socket or the Core i5 series is a mainstream motherboard/cpu and the LGA 2011 socket is the high-end version, so one can expects better CPU and IGP performance on the high-end CPUs/motherboards.
