### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- The term **'[integrated](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33532/handler-pagehandlerfactory-integrated-has-a-bad-module-managedpipelinehandler-in-its-module-list) [graphics](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/336067/html-graphics-using-html)'** refers to a graphics controller that shares memory with the [**CPU**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96913/name-of-the-latest-computer-processors-cpu). It is the most cost-effective alternative to a standalone 'graphics processing unit' (GPU) or a 'integrated graphics processor' (IGP), in which the GPU is built into the chipset.
- A GPU incorporated into the processor is known as integrated graphics. Integrated graphics hardware does not have a separate graphics/video memory bank. Instead, the GPU makes use of shared system memory with the CPU.
- A GPU that is distinct from the processor is known as discrete graphics. Discrete graphics has its own dedicated memory separate from the CPU.
