The i3 mobile chip has an integrated GPU inside the chip itself, it does not require any other chipset on the motherboard.
The reason Apple went with C2D is because they had tons of unused motherboards from the unsold Macbook Airs of last generation. Which is why they are using the same, slow as fuck Samsung SSD with less performance than 5400rpm hard drives (and no TRIM).
