When you start up BOINC it

When you start up BOINC it creates a log. If you examine about the first 30 lines it will announce if you have a useable GPU.

A limited set of models of the Intel iGpu will run BOINC GPU tasks.

With that CPU I recommend leaving one thread free. Set your CPU usage to 75 percent.

HTH,

While it won't ever be a simple as ARM is supposed to be will it make much of a difference to consumer CPUs?

Yes, for most of modern

Yes, for most of modern code.  By eliminating legacy x32 instructions, code gets simpler and smaller.  App should theoretically speed up.

Probably what the announcement between AMD and Intel joining together in the new coalition is all about.

You can see which gpu apps can run on your gpu here:

The key will be as Tom said the first 30 lines of your Event Log and what it says about your Intel gpu, the drivers and whether Boinc says it is usable or not.

While simplifying

While simplifying architecture for performance gains sounds logical, it's a misconception. For instance, Intel Itanium was built without legacy but didn’t significantly outperform other options.
