An integrated GPU is a GPU core embedded on the same die (or package) as the CPU, sharing the system RAM instead of having dedicated VRAM. It is found in every laptop APU, every mobile SoC and in Apple Silicon.

An integrated GPU is a GPU core embedded on the same die (or package) as the CPU, sharing the system RAM instead of having dedicated VRAM. It is found in every laptop APU, every mobile SoC and in Apple Silicon.

It has lower power and lower bandwidth than a discrete GPU.

Zero-copy data sharing with the CPU simplifies programming and cuts latency for lightweight graphics and NPU-style inference tasks.

It is a hardwired ASIC on the die, the size of a nail, drawing about 30 W, and it handles lightweight inference (GPS, small models).
