Peripherals do just plug in but ATI wants to produce an integrated chipset with graphics. Intel does have patents that protect its chipsets. In the past Intel both has licensed and filed suit on some of its patents.

So a new player that wants to sell a P4 chipset will need a license from Intel whether or not they have integrated graphics. The probability that ATI has patents on graphic processors that are likely to have value to Intel may well reduce ATI's cost for a P4 License.
