Considering the widespread use of graphics cards in computers, it’s curious why some makers place graphics processing inside the CPU. This question has been on my mind, and I’m struggling to find a clear response. Could there be alternatives that make better use of onboard graphics? Those curious about the topic are right to seek more insight.
It's unnecessary to invest in a specialized graphics card when you don't require its full capabilities. Using it would only waste energy and generate additional heat without any advantage.
Not everyone plays games or works with high-end graphics cards. Most PCs people use either lack a dedicated GPU or run on systems without integrated graphics, relying on basic ones that work for display purposes. At my workplace, only a few Ryzen models without GPUs and one laptop (a Zephyr G14) had them. Two iMacs were also present since the 27-inch models were the only ones available at the time. We usually choose integrated graphics because they’re cheaper and sufficient for our needs.
Appreciate everyone taking the time to consider this and give a response. I work with computers but haven’t had business clients, so I’m not familiar with iGPUs. Once more, thank you for your time and answers.
Linus Torvalds often relied on common Intel processors until recently since he only needed a screen. If your project doesn’t demand heavy 3D processing, there’s no need to invest in a costly GPU that consumes extra power, occupies valuable PCIe slots, or generates excessive heat.
