Am I missing something obvious?

Presumably these CPUs, with their on-board GPU, will have to be fitted into a motherboard with a graphics connector. A motherboard that most likely will have built-in graphics already. So why not just use the motherboard graphics?

Presumably to make sense and avoid GPU duplication, these CPUs will be paired with motherboards with no on-board GPU but with some sort of graphics 'pass-through' connector - that'll confuse the hell out of people who'll think that a video connector means it has a GPU.

Frankly, I don't see the need for this (GPU on a chip) on desktops. In a laptop with a custom motherboard then it does makes sense. But not for gaming.
