It'd probably cost Intel more to make a separate production line that fabs chips without onboard video, they wouldn't even be able to sell them cheaper than regular CPUs. And if you're not using it the onboard graphics capabilities, it's not drawing any extra power, so no improvement there either.

My current CPU is a Conroe architecture Core 2 duo E6700. I'm building an new PC with an Ivy Bridge i7 CPU in a couple months, and it'll definitely offer that kind of performance increase. Successive generations of latest and greatest have always offered marginal improvements at best, but it accumulates once you skip a generation or four.

Should they fire the rest of us for every tin foil consiracy theory we believe?

If you announce it clearly, yes. You should also lose all social benefits and be shunned from your circle of (rational) acquaintances and relatives. We, as a species, seriously need to weed out the nutjobs.
