So, what are integrated graphics and how does it work in your computer? A CPU that comes with a fully integrated GPU on its motherboard allows for thinner and lighter systems, reduced power consumption, and lower system costs. The majority of GPUs on the market are actually integrated graphics. A discrete GPU is a distinct chip that is mounted on its own circuit board and is typically attached to a PCI Express slot. An integrated GPU does not come on its own separate card at all and is instead embedded alongside the CPU.
GPUs come in two basic types: integrated and discrete.
This board also includes the raft of components required to both allow the GPU to function and connect to the rest of the system. Much like a motherboard contains a CPU, a graphics card refers to an add-in board that incorporates the GPU. While the terms GPU and graphics card (or video card) are often used interchangeably, there is a subtle distinction between these terms.
