Yes, exactly! These new integrated graphics chips are great for 1080p 60hz for the games kids actually play, like Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, CSGO, etc.

Integrate graphics will be the default in the future with discrete GPUs used only by the niche gamers and AI developer.

Lowest common denominator consoles like the Series S and Steam Deck are also contributing to this push as gamedevs are forced to optimize for integrated AMD graphics.

Now that is some out-of-touch thinking. The GPU industry is only going to expand more to the AI area, but the gaming area is going to keep making money for the same exact reason that it does now, players bragging, being envious, and the good old FOMO. Ain't no discreet graphics on a CPU going to make a dent in it, until they start selling them with marketing like "it comes with RTX 4080 included".

Disagree.

We are reaching a point where these integrated graphics are "good enough". Something that wasn't possible before.

It is going to change the gaming landscape.

This will still exist for sure, but for a lot of the gaming demographic, buying high end GPUs is simply not realistic anymore.
