They have, but if you're spending 200$+ on a CPU, I believe you can afford a 70$ VGA which blows away the on-die ( inside the CPU ) graphics processor ( both Intel's and AMD's Llano ).

CPU-wise they suck balls.
Slow as hell.
GPU-wise the Trinity chips should be better even when compared to Ivy Bridge's i5/i7-3xxx LGA1155 on-die GPU ( unless Intel goes way above our expectations and current performance information )

CPU's with integrated graphics processors are good for HTPC ( Home Theater PCs ) and netbooks and entry-level laptops, that's just it.
Gaming + IGP = not getting along.
