Besides integrated GPUs for actual graphics usage that other comments mentioned, Intel did make some attempts at the GPGPU market. They had a design for a GPU aimed primarily at GPGPU workloads, Larrabee, that was never released [1], and adapted some of the ideas into Xeon Phi, a more CPU-like chip that was intended to be a competitor to GPUs, which was released but didn't gain a lot of market share [2].
