See, the thing about this framing is that by this logic the PS5 is also doing this "without a graphics card". They're both APUs, they both have a GPU in them.

Does the PS5 really not have a dedicated graphics chip?

They kinda do, but they put the dedicated chip into the same die as the CPU so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. Same as the Strix Point APUs and the M series Apple stuff and the Steam Deck and the Switch and a whole bunch of other things.

It's kinda weird that people are beign shocked by this only now. I guess the long tradition of laptop iGPUs sucking has led to some weird assumptions.
