I mean why dont they just get rid of the intergrated graphics on some of the cpu's for gamer options who are going to get another gpu anyway?
 
Solution
Most home users are looking for power efficiency among simplicity, for some its noise, reducing budget. They are making their CPU's to cater to everyone not just enthusiasts.

I know what you mean I was thinking more of a customization point of veiw but then again im still learning so Its probably not realistic. Somthing like a cpu with no stock cooler or intergrated graphics ect but its just from the mind of somone learning lol

No worries. We were all learning at one point.

Graphics, integrated with the CPU is a relatively new item with the current Intel processors and AMD APUs. Only a few years ago, integrated graphics were a function of the motherboard's Northbridge chipset and not the CPU.

In my opinion, the best place to start is with an old system that you can take apart and put back together. If you don't have one of those, take $25-$50 to a local pawn/thrift shop and get one. Familiarize yourself with what components make up a working system:

Case, Power Supply, Motherboard, CPU, System RAM, Hard Disc Drive, Optical Drive, Graphics*, Networking*, Audio*, and the Operating System.

Open the case and get to know each of these components.
* Note: in many systems, the motherboard is capable of handling the graphics, networking, and audio of a computer. If the motherboard is controlling these functions, the connected ports will be on the motherboard's rear Input/Output panel. These functions of a computer *can* be upgraded with discrete cards.

Next, find out what motherboard is installed in the computer and then download the manual for said board from the Internet. Read it, read it, and then read it again. The motherboard is like the Central Nervous System of the computer. The manual will tell you how each component connects and interacts with the motherboard and all the other components.

Once you understand that, you need to figure out how components have evolved over time (generally just understanding what the current technology is) and then, finally, what components you need to fulfill the task requirements of the PC.

The answer is.Intel wants to compete with AMD`s Integrated graphics.But wont spend the money to do so.So they make the claim that either.
1.Integrated graphics are garbage.
2.IGPU for Intel are better than there competition.(An give no names of who their competition are so you cant look for them.)
3.Still wont admit they have no idea how to do it.
4.Offer it but never show you it.Like for an example.Making the claim of ANY Intel CPU with any kind of graphics.Be it HD 3400,HD 4000,HD 5500 or HD Graphics.They will always fake it showing you something from a system with a graphics card like they did at the E3.Or Slander AMD APU.

That is the truth right there.They currently say the Intel's Pentium G3258 is one of the most greatest processors right now.AMD users are laughing at it.Why?Because it is suppose to be for affordability.With Integrated graphics.Yes.Look at any video of this processors IG.Then See, lets say Anyone using an equally prices or even cheaper APU. The AMD A4-7300 3.8GHz another dual core in performance of graphics.

Intel should stop trying this an just go on to making processors that do not run over 80c.

I use the high end CPU for editing tasks and data manipulation which do not require a GPU more powerful than that which is included on an Atari. For me the integrated GPU works well, similar case for many office workers I recon. I think it's a question of cost and since none of us really know how much cost the integrated GPU adds it's impossible to answer your question. If it adds 5$ to the price I take it... If it's more than 50 I could get a similar GPU of market.

This is a very aggressive post. Not entirely incorrect though. But Intel has no interest pushing AMD out of the integrated desktop GPU realm. They are fast, efficient on temps and power, very stable, and handle various workloads effectively.

AMD on the other hand is very affordable, and with better integrated GPU's they are usually a better choice for NUC PC's and HTPC's.

Well iris is coming out soon so i think you need to do some research.
