There is no proprietary CPU driver. The microcode_ctl package updates CPU microcode and includes the updates in the initramfs at boot time.
There is no proprietary Intel GPU driver. If you need a later version of the upstream Intel driver, that can be difficult as you often need to update the rest of the graphics stack at the same time. If you have a specific problem then troubleshoot that, otherwise just use the EL7 driver.
nvidia using the file provided by nVidia is covered here: How to disable the Nouveau driver and install the Nvidia driver in RHEL 7 or ELRepo have several driver packages available too.
