I did read if you have onboard graphics it will work in concert with the discreet card to do some tasks but how this will work in practice who knows

Would be an interesting trick which AMD have never managed. You'd think if you ran with an AMD APU and GPU then some of kind of post-processing effects could be run on the APU but nothing ever did. A console might be able to pull that off but who'd design a console with a normal APU and dGPU rather than spec'ing a proper console-level SOC?

Intels drivers for integrated GPUs are pretty dire, I wouldn't fancy running their dGPU drivers.

I think price and availability will be the deciding factors. If they're available at a low enough price, plenty of people will be willing to take a chance on the drivers. If the price and availability is no better than AMD or nvidia, why bother?

AMD are doing something with their new laptops and having better communication between the CPU and GPU. Better and more efficient management of the display. Forgot the exact thing but it was just announced.
