gen11: icelake-gt1.5
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 seems to use this, for example.

Confirmed, WebRender is not enabled by default for this GPU/APU.
Current maximum is Intel Gen9. (bug 1547702) Gen10 and Gen11 are not listed on the whitelist:

Please open about:config, set gfx.webrender.all to true to force-enable WebRender and restart Firefox.
