An integrated graphic processor as oposed to a discrete graphic processor. Graphic processor is the same as a video card.

Integrated video cards:

Integrated video cards are built-in to the system motherboard and use the system's processor (CPU) and memory to create graphics. They're fine for applications such as word processing and email and for the internet, but not great for gaming or other graphic-intensive applications.

While integrated video cards can process some complex graphics such as 3D images, they have to share the CPU and memory with other programs. If the CPU and memory are overloaded or busy processing other information, it can really slow down the graphics.

Discrete video cards:

Discrete video cards turn up the performance compared to integrated video cards. They are separate, or discrete, from the motherboard and have their own processor, a specialized graphics processing unit, or GPU. They don't have to share the CPU with other programs.

Discrete video cards include memory of their own, measured in megabytes (MB). Graphics memory is used by the GPU to accelerate the graphics on your monitor and make gaming, movies and other entertainment intensely realistic. In general, the more memory the graphics card has the better.

Integrated graphics cards aren't actually cards, they are GPU chipsets on the motherboard, and share some of your PCs RAM, rather than having any Video RAM themselves.

An integrated video card is located on the motherboard itself and cannot be replaced. You can add a graphics card to one of the motherboard's slots though.
