iGPU
Processor's graphics core
An iGPU is an integrated graphics processing unit—a graphics chip built into a computer's CPU rather than existing as a separate component.
Integrated graphics share system memory with the processor, making them less powerful than dedicated graphics cards but more power-efficient and cost-effective.
Most laptops and budget desktops rely on iGPUs: The iGPU handles everyday tasks fine, but I need a discrete card for gaming.
