My previous laptop I bought in 2016 had an Intel Skylake processor with 64MB eDRAM. Specifically, it was based on Intel Core i3-6157U: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/96484/i... The laptop used DDR3L memory, I installed 16GB there. Was pretty fast despite small, light, and only 2 CPU cores.

I think the main reason chips like that didn’t took off was marketing. Laptop OEMs tell consumers that if they want performant graphics they must buy laptops with discrete GPUs despite expensive, heavy, and discharge batteries faster.
