integrated GPU

A graphics processing unit (GPU) on the same chip as the central processing unit (CPU). The GPU is a programmable logic chip (processor) specialized for display functions. See logic chip, GPU and integrated graphics.

An Integrated GPU

This Trinity chip from AMD integrates a sophisticated GPU with four cores of x86 processing and a DDR3 memory controller. Each x86 section is a dual-core CPU with its own L2 cache. (Image courtesy of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., www.amd.com)
