This is part of your Core i7 (Haswell) CPU. I think it's an Iris 5100.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HD_and_Iris_Graphics
For some odd reason Intel never provided any OpenCL drivers for Windows
or Linux AFAIK, but Apple provides them.
The Iris is not completely worthless but for most hashes you'll be
better off running AVX2 CPU formats. Our latest release (Jumbo-1) does
not utilize AVX2 but latest GitHub code does, for a 2x boost over AVX.
