Look at it another way: no Intel iGPU is on par with any discrete GPU, because in price segments where iGPUs appear, discrete GPUs tend to vanish in a matter of 1-2 years. There used to be a significant number of NVIDIA Geforce MX420/440s, 5200s and 6200s. Then much fewer 730s. Now 1030s are practically only in laptops.
