They are refereeing to the graphics handling of the Intel chipset, NOT it's performance as a CPU. As I found on my better laptop, even though you have a great graphics card, the laptop by default doesn't use it! It defaults all graphics to the Intel, probably to meet power usage certifications. You have to disable the Intel graphics, and enable the nvidia. On mine, I had to kill it completely, others may have utilities that allow one or the other graphics system to be used with designated programs.
