I had this thought a while back and gave it a try.  I have an i5-3210M in a laptop.  The GPU is capable of 11.5 MH/s with BFGminer and 2 GPU threads (BTC mining).   The 3210M is dual core with hyperthreading, and the GPU mining will eat up one "core".  You can get another ~8 MH/s out of the remaining cores.  I don't remember the miner I used for CPU... it was like cpu-pooler-miner or something.   With both CPU and GPU mining, it uses 24 Watts.

Thanks, so the intel's integrated GPU is very comparative with AMD's Fusion GPU but AMD's has 100-300 stream processors, which means that Intel has the capability to make a nice discrete GPU but they hasn't made one.

If you are talking about integrated graphics it probably isn't worth it - you might get 20-40 kH/s - if that. But I'm no expert in it.

From Ivy Bridge, it starts to support OpenCL. Does anyone give a try? How about the speed of the 6/16 EU?
