Like has been done on laptops with on-board video cards since, well, forever?
It’s different. The GPU is broken into several parts and integrated into the SoC along with the CPU’s dedicated processes. Data is passed within the SoC without entering UM. It’s exclusively used as a storage liaison.
You should check out Apple Silicon M-Series. Specs don’t translate to performance in the way conventional PC architecture does. I guarantee you’ll see PC manufacturers going to 2nm SoC configurations soon enough. The performance is undeniable.
Soooo Integrated Graphics?
Negative.

So it's not on same chip with CPU?
A CPU performs integer math.
A GPU performs floating-point math.
Those are only two of the 18-52 cores (model dependent) of Apple M chips. The OS is designed around this for maximum efficiency. Most Macs don’t even have a fan anymore.
There. Is. No. Comparison. In. PC.
A GPU performs integer math.
A CPU performs floating point math.
All four statements are true.
That’s correct. My mistake.
