Maybe not great graphics, but reasonable performance. There are literally millions of people that suffer through Intel graphics and have no idea how terrible their experience really is. They buy a new computer, and just assume they can go out buy a game and play it. We're not talking about top flight games here, but The Sims etc.

I've seen peoples reaction when they see the games they normally play running on a competent system. They are shell shocked on how good the game actually looks. Let's face it, Intel graphics are absolutely dreadful. People complain that AMD sells chips that are on average maybe 20% slower, but Intel sells the majority of graphics that are AT LEAST 200% slower than even the lowest end AMD stuff. In some games, we are talking about 10 times slower.

The argument "most people don't need good graphics" is absolutely stupid. Yes they do, everyone does. Intel graphics=pure
