They're not meant to do anything other than exist. It's used as a low end way to make a PC actually have a graphics card, you know, that can display Microsoft Word prettily enough with Aero. That's what Intel cards started out as.
Moving forward, they're giving the cards enough power to help render movie times, playing games such as League of Legends casually at low (think 1366 by 768, not 1080p) resolutions and medium settings, etc that can satisfy 90% of user needs.
Maybe in a few years Intel will make their own graphics cards that can compare in power to current Nvidia and ATI cards. Until then, these cards serve as cheap stuff that can be found on every computer.
