> You can't even use non Intel chipsets with Intel CPUs

There's no theoretical reason for this. Nobody makes them because they won't be able to sell them, apparently, but they could make them.

> You can't even use non Intel chipsets with Intel CPUs and integrated GPUs are inherently tied to the CPU.

You used to be able to, but Intel cut off the rights to use their chipsets' interconnect. Before that point 'integrated on the chipset' was a valid way to do integrated graphics.

The last AMD chipset that supported Intel CPUs[1] was around the time of this fine.
