I have a hackintosh with i3 2310M[1], 8GB RAM and I think the 12 inch macbook, 1.2gh has 5Y71[2] ticking inside it. Judging by the benchmarks they are pretty similar with the 5Y71 beating the i3 on single threaded stuff with the higher clock speed but not always.
My machine handles a Windows8.1 in VirtualBox easily. I use it for Visual Studio 2013 daily and it's fine although it's not perfect. It's slow at times but not enough to make me dualboot.
I hope that someone chimes in with Win VM on the real MacBook because I'm interested in it but I think it'll be just fine.
