I'll give it a try to straighten up the terms:

- SandyBridge:  Intel code name for 2nd generation core i (i3/5/7-abcd). 
First generation was core i3/5/7-xyz.
- HD2000 / HD3000:  name Intel has given to the "integrated graphics" 
in SandyBridge processors.  Some desktop SB's have HD2000, others HD3000, 
whereas all the mobile SB's (known to me at least) sport a HD3000, 
according to Intel nomenclature.
- H67:  name of the motherboard "chipset" (it's single-chip, AFAIK) - the 
"chipset" 
is not involved in rendering graphics output, but needs to make the "Integrated 
Graphics" available to the outside world (via a VGA/DVI/HDMI connector)
