Intel CPU with AMD IGP pops up in SiSoft database

Here's an interesting find in the SiSoft Sandra database, an Intel Kaby Lake engineering sample with a graphics device ID of an AMD GPU.

It could be fake or a fluke of course but it ties into the rumors of Intel having closed some sort of deal with AMD to integrate a Radeon GPU into its processors. Intel debunked rumors about a graphics license with AMD but the latest rumors claim we're talking about a multi-chip module created at the request of Apple.

Besides the SiSoft Sandra entry, there's also a GFXBench entry that confirms the "694C:C0" device ID. And so the rumor lives on.
