[QUOTE="LopeDeAguirre, post: 1886972, member: 408334"] Hi, I have an iMac 2020. It has a Radeon GPU, but also the CPU 10910 seems to have an internal GPU (UHD 630, I think). It takes a considerable part of the CPU die as one can see in pictures, and hence should cause a substantial part of the cost of the CPU. Now, I wonder if this internal GPU is used at all in the iMac or if it is wasting space. As the 10910 was created for Apple only, it might have been smarter to make a CPU without it in case it is not used. I mean, intel core CPUs without internal GPUs exist. Does anyone know if it just idles all the time? What's the reason to have it? [/QUOTE]
