Would I be able to use OpenGL 3.1 in Lion ?

I read that MAC OS X Lion includes OpenGL 3.1 ?

Would I be able to use OpenGL 3.1 in MAC OS X Lion if I upgrade my Macbook Pro?

I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 which has Intel HD Graphics 3000.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

The Intel HD Graphics 3000 supports opengl 3.2 with the 10.7.2 update. Problem is as of today, no games support the core profile (opengl 3+) in OS X. You can use OpenGL extension viewer to do a render test of the core profile though! Here are some helpful links:
