The 2011 MacBook Pro graphics issue - linked to the introduction of lead free solder - can't occur if the GPU is a part of the SoC.

As others have noted, other firms such as Microsoft's XBOX 360, also suffered faults due to inexperience with lead free solder.

Lead solder can still be used if the components are headed to a military or aerospace application.
