They say Google Chrome 10 uses the pc's gpu now. But what about the integrated graphics processing?

The JavaScript performance improvement is totally independent of GPU acceleration for rendering.
GPU acceleration is used only for rendering (it's kind of same technique as with Windows' Aero or Apple's Quartz). It's not heavy graphics processing, so IGPs will do fine.

I changed my question dramatically, I think you saw the old post. Read the question again, just in case.– enonFeb 21, 2011 at 16:51
Integrated graphics just means that the GPU is integrated with the motherboard. In theory it should use the GPU for certain processing. You still have a GPU, it's just built into the chipset of the motherboard and using system memory for video memory.
