In the PC world a discrete GPU means you get a second chip with a thermal/power budget of 70 to 200W. On a SoC the thermal budget is more limited, so even if they integrate nVidia IP on silicon, they can't clock it as high.
Of course by "integrated" Apple could mean they just solder a GPU chip to the board. Or they built a surprisingly performant GPU core for their SoC, though I wouldn't expect it to be much faster than what AMD integrates in their CPUs (30% at most? Still much slower than discrete).
