Yep could do
Not that they are much better than the 8** series ones as far as I can tell. Just renamed and rebranded like the 650>750.

LOL! The 650M was fast enough for a high-end 15" rMBP. Iris Pro 6200 is faster.
The benefits for Apple in eliminating the discrete GPU are massive: price, battery life, reliability, risk, and motherboard real estate. If Apple will not eliminate the last vestige of the discrete GPU from the MacBook Pro line with Broadwell, then they will do so with Skylake.
I agree. The integrated GPU's are beginning to be fast enough. If you need a real gaming powerhouse, you don't get a laptop, you get an iMac or Mac Pro.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think when Apple looks at GPU's there looking at what software for video and graphics software out there is demanding and not the gaming side, in the future maybe gaming.
It'd be interesting to see how many people buy the 15" MBP w/dedicated GPU for gaming.
The next processor mite be worth waiting for. I use a 13 MBA and as time goes on the larger screen is better but to jump to a more expensive machine is worth waiting for a super deal or newer version of the 15" MBP
