They have an integrated GPU, but it's just (most likely broken on the die and) turned off in the final product. There's no dedicated process to create these abominations. Same with most 10/8 core chips for example: If the process for the 10 core die results in one or two faulty cores they just turn them off and sell it as 8 core. This is basically true for most mainstream CPU and GPU vendors/products. This also results in situations like for example selling working 10 cores as 8 cores (with cores turned off) to fulfill market needs in case of shortages ... shortages of "faulty" dies. In some cases methods are available to "upgrade" you chip again. tl;dr how to abuse chip binning (or how to void your warranty)
