Intel Iris Graphics 5100

I would like to know if someone has been running Sketchup on a machine with an integrated graphics card, specifically the Intel Iris Graphics 5100.
Is any good? Can it handle Sketchup?
Thanks.

Looking at the benchmarks...
...it looks like an improvement over older integrated graphics chips but nowhere near a dedicated solution.
I'd say power consumption is where it has the biggest win.
I steer clear of integrated chips for CAD work. Nut this looks like a good solution for some light work while portable and unplugged.

Thanks, Rich. This seems to be the general understanding.

I'm running a 13" MacBook Pro with only Intel Iris 5100 graphics.
I use Sketchup professionally, and have been doing so for 3 and a half years on this computer...
Under Mac OS, it shows up as a VRAM of 1.5GB, and I run Sketchup on either a dual 1080p setup (with the laptop closed), or on the laptop screen (2560 x 1600).

Had a crazy week, but have been testing SU2017 on my MacBook for most of it.
Not sure overall if it's slowed down compared to 2015: overall graphics seem smother, but with a bit of lag in some operations. Whether or not that bodes poorly for really large models I can't say. Bottom line is that it's still works fine for my needs, at least on mid-sized models (~35MB).
