I'm using a 5 year old laptop with intel graphics. It's fine for everything other than CAD and gaming. The former I don't do and the latter I have an XBox. Perhaps the market isn't there so this is no biggy?

If you use the latest OSX, slowdown is very noticeable because of animations and other effects.

  That's mainly a GPU problem though.

    Now GPU is part of CPU, at least in Intel processors.

      Yup. You notice a huge difference in smoothness when switching a high-end MBP between integrated and dedicated graphics.

The threat isn't graphics: http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla-supercomputing-solutions.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/tesla-supercomputing-solutions.... Intel is worried about HPC solutions eating away at it's processor chip dominance.

The PC gaming market certainly is there, and Intel graphics are very good these days. There are few games that cannot be played on Intel graphics now, compared to back in the GMA 900 days when almost nothing at all would run on an integrated chip.

  Also, the GMA series of graphics chips were actually integrated into the motherboard rather than the CPU. By going with processor graphics, Intel has managed to reduce by at least one the number of chips that goes into a system, allowing for even smaller designs than before.
