many laptops are these days sold with onboard graphics card, such as the new Intel HD 4600. I am reading that the graphic processor is manufactured on the same die as the central processor.
Is the graphic processor a separate processor, or is it actually inside the CPU ? And what about the RAM, does it have its own RAM, or does it use system RAM. If so, does it have pre-assigned size of ram, or does it get whatever it needs?
Will an onboard graphics card consume less power in my laptop, than a regular card, such as ATI Radeon ? (i.e. will my battery last longer?)
Did you check Wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit#Integrated_graphics_solutions should answer most, if not all of your questions.
