I recently got a new laptop, and I want to use it to animate in Blender. It has Intel Iris XE Integrated Graphics. I understand that OpenCL and OpenGL are no longer supported for cycles rendering, but I want to use Eevee to render. NOT run.

Is there a way to use Iris XE graphics with Eevee. It does support OpenGL so I would suppose so. Would it work by default or would I have to change some variable? Would this functionality continue to new blender versions?

The answer is a resounding YES! Eevee is the way to go with Intel GPUs. Sad that I can't use Cycles, but it isn't the end of the world.

When testing I figured out that while rendering with eevee, the GPU performance was at 100%.

List of supported GPUs

It looks like Haswell was Gen7, and Iris XE is Gen12, so it should be fine.
