If you could provide the device ID of the included graphics, that would be a start. However it is possible that it will not be whitelisted, the information I have seen in the past is that the iGPU from that vintage APU did not include support for double precision (FP64) arithmetic. That was included by AMD on later APUs featuring Vega iGPUs for graphics.

This hints that it does have 64 bit floating point math (and OpenCL 2.0) but is over 4 times slower than the slowest GPU known to complete Work Units.

I take the FP64 entry on TechPowerUp with a grain of salt. As best as I can find it is based on the GPU design being based on GCN, not an actual test result. I have seen no data sheet from AMD making that claim, and until Vega implementations for iGPUs on Zen based consumer level APUs there was no hardware FP64 support that I can find.
