In regards to comments I've seen, having a large CPU load does NOT slow down the integrated chipset. An integrated chipset is not software driven (don't know where you got that) but there is actually physically extra room on the CPU die and there is a graphics card there. A really slow, tiny, nerfed graphics card that shares RAM as VRAM but it should not be affected by CPU load.

Most laptop integrated graphics are not on the die, except in an APU. They usually are a separate chip on the motherboard. This isn't an ARM SoC we're talking about here.
