You do realize that its not technically feasible to incorporate "Gaming" video cards into GPU's right?
Most GPU's put as much if not more heat, and require copious amounts of said power. There is no way that they are putting those two together anytime soon.
When they talk about built in GPU/CPU's they are doing it for one purpose. Mobile and Embedded designs. Being able to remove all the real-estate required to place a graphics chip and its components along side the CPU and instead put all of that into one single chip is going to be a big deal.
The problem as commented in the above reply is that Intel already has the largest market share for "Low end" graphics cards. Those cheap Intel video chipsets are a business Intel has been in for a lot longer time than AMD or even ATI.
I dont see CPU/GPU combo's taking a large stand in the desktop market for a while, and even then its only going to be really usable in Micro-ATX or smaller formfactors where theres no other option.
