The GT3e GPU that is embedded alongside the L4 cache chip is powerful opposed to what Intel has been releasing for years now. I mean to date there hasn't been a desktop processor from Intel that was capable beating AMD APUs. Broadwell-H Desktop processors come with a very feisty solution, and if you stick to mid-range quality settings, you can actually play games at 1080 reasonably well. Truth of course remains, everybody that purchases a flag-ship quad-core processor, will likely already have a dedicated graphics card. But yeah the GT3e IGP is good, really good. We also need to separate gaming from the graphics core, realize that it is a multipurpose graphics processor. You'll have no issues with Blu-ray playback, heck it can even deal with 3D TV, post-process your media files and help out with video en/trans and decoding. The GPU is compatible with HDMI 1.4 and Display Port 1.2 next to the regular DSUB and DVI connectors of course. Unfortunately HDMI 2.0 is not supported meaning 60Hz on an Ultra HDTV will max out at 30Hz.
