Intel is built-in to the modern CPUs, that's part of the beauty of it;
including plenty of good bang for your buck and lower energy options
than the "super" graphic cards that most people don't really need
unless they are doing extreme gaming or other very serious grunt work
with the GPU.

Also, as I understand it, Nvidia will be requiring ALL code running on
it's newer hardware to be signed code -- therefore no free or open
source versions will work; you can of course opt for older hardware to
hopefully not get caught up with this change.
