By having an on chip GPU, this chip could run the graphics necessary for many tasks on chip. This would save the power of running the GPU, and the time of transferring data across the PCIe bus to the GPU memory. In a pure computing application, this on chip GPU turns this chip into a heterogeneous processor. It would allow trivially parallelizable code to be run on the GPU (many small cores), and sequential code to be run on the main processing cores.
