>AMD on the other hand may eat intel's lunch by releasing powerful multicore processors for half the price all because they don't waste space on the die for things like integrated graphics.

If that's all it is isn't that going to be pretty much a simple knob for Intel to turn to respond? They already have Xeon which doesn't use the space on graphics.

The main reason for pushing iGPU on desktop so hard was so the same chips could be pretty much used on mobile I guess?

It isn't an easy knob to turn as lowering margins will hurt intel's bottom line significantly.
