Don't these things use Intel GPUs that are on the CPU?

You're talking about integrated GPUs I presume?

Dont forget integrated GPUs actually working quite well for 80% of gamers

Considering the intel integrated GPU, this seems doubtful.

Intel does more than integrated GPUs.

Intel has integrated graphics. If you only care about CPU perf you don't need more for a GPU.

Laptops with iGPUs are pretty normal, no? (And common on desktops too)

integrated GPUs are not powerful in comparison to dedicated GPUs

Even if it has an igpu its probably leagues better than intels integrated graphics offerings, no?

The intel CPU still has an iGPU.
