this means that the video chipset on the board will work with some intel cpu model supported by the board but you could have a graphic card and if this one fail you wont be able to get video signal from the board output if your cpu do not support the in video chipset .

do you mean like the AMD A series?
 
Many Intel cpus have Intel 4000, 3000 .... integrated graphics that when paired with a mobo supporting Integrated graphics is used, a stand alone video card is only needed if better performance is needed. AMD now has Trinity APUs - decent video built into the cpu that generally out performs the Intel Integrated solution.
