So a guy who sells CPUs wants to bundle something with the CPU so that I have to replace the whole thing if I want an upgrade?

Hot take. Lol.

I see iGPU's as a good thing. They are perfect for things like work or casual computers where browsing or word processing are about all that is used.

I even prefer them for gaming computers because, depending on the motherboard, you can use the built in HDMI port on the motherboard as an extra spot to plug in a monitor. As a person that always has multiple monitors, the extra port has saved me lots of troubles.

Having an iGPU since my first gaming computer has a lot of benefits:

Haven't had to upgrade a GPU due to a lack of ports
Haven't needed to replace perfectly fine secondary monitors because they didn't come with DisplayPort
I've always had a spare port for extra devices like drawing tablets or VR
They make setting up or repairing a PC easier if you have GPU problems.

To be fair, I don't expect any serious gaming performance from the iGPU's I've installed. They are a great tool for me and have been worth the extra bit more versus the none integrated CPU's

Like a CPU with graphics acceleration? We could call it an "APU."

Sour grapes.

'We can't provide this, so you must not need it.'
