It's also, arguably, a GPU without a fan. You still have a fan for the CPU: I did put a Noctua NH-12US on mine, which is silent in "powersave" CPU mode and barely audible in "ondemand" mode when the CPU is then working hard. Which is perfect, it's how I like my machine: a tiny audible feedback telling me it's cranking. FWIW I run all but one of my virtual desktop in "powersave" mode, so the fan is never audible when I browse the web, edit PDFs, sort pictures or whatever and then one virtual desktop, the one where I code, puts the CPU in "ondemand" mode. I've configured my WM to automatically switch the CPU's mode depending on which virtual desktop I'm currently on. And if I happen to have one task that I really want to run in performance mode, I send it to my "coding" virtual desktop. Long story short: for people who don't game and who don't run AI models on their main desktop computers, these kind of CPU with an iGPU are really nice.
