In discrete GPUs, VRAM is RAM memory that lives on the GPU's PCB.
They are located in separate chips to the GPU's compute, since just like for CPUs, you can't put both on the same chip as the manufacturing processes are different and incompatible.
Integrated GPUs don't have VRAM and just instead use the same RAM as the CPU.
