Thing is, you don't need a GPU.

One of the major x86 manufacturers makes CPUs with integrated graphics that is good enough for gaming. It's in "Steam's hardware line" btw.

Oh yes, AAAs maybe won't run on that. But they're boring af anyway. And predatory. So not much loss.

You would struggle to play any graphically intensive game, old or new, without at least a modest GPU. It's not only AAA.

Intel also sees the value in decent onboard GPUs now, their newly announced laptop processors have solid onboard GPUs too
