You can play BF3 on mediumish settings at 1366x720 and get 40fps (IIRC) without having the need to buy a graphic cards.
Intel is pushing to get better on die graphics than ever before.
I'd imagine its because 90% of the people buying CPUs don't play Battlefield. And Intel is in the business of selling lots of CPUs.So why exactly do we have on-die gpu again? This is now something like ivy cpu...

Only problem is AMD completely thrashes them with on board gpu.
Also intel's venture into better on board graphics is causing issues with their cpu temps and they are still miles away from being on par with AMD.
i remember when the GFX in my my athlon II lan pc failed I had to use the onboard (off die intergrated) HD3200 graphics and it was able to game 90% of games at 1024 res decently. the on die ones are atleast 2x - 3x faster
