Various Intel CPUs already have integrated video on the CPU. AMD is just trying to catch up. Is there anything in particular you're interested in?

For gaming i would stay away from both AMD's and Intel's on die GPU.

Although Intel's on die GEN2 GPU has enough grunt for med setting on some games it's still not ideal..

AMD's may be better but a dedicated card is still the best option..

Right now AMD's only CPUs with graphics are in the low power laptop market (competing with Intel low end/ULV/Atom chips). Llano and Bulldozer will come in the next 6 months, Llano has graphics and is competing in the mainstream, Bulldozer doesnt and is competing in the highend.
