Your CPU isn’t just the main cores that process things. It’s basically the entire damn computer on one chip at this point. Integrated graphics means it just has an actual GPU (the parallel computey kind) on the same chip.
Now that Intel and AMD both make dedicated GPUs it’s literally the exact same stuff from their dedicated cards, just cut down to the bare minimum to fit in the package.
