I think gaming machines generally do have GPUs...

Of course, the GPU is also running the graphics, but the computer doesn't need to play well enough to beat world champions - I'm pretty sure that Alpha Go running on one CPU+GPU could play at a strong amateur level.

Of course, but mass-market games like Starcraft are designed to perform decently on the run-of-the-mill machines with integrated graphics.
