The bottleneck with iGPUs and tone mapping has to due with VRAM and VRAM bandwidth. Both of which iGPUs, AMD and Intel, sorely lack.
I'd choose an Intel iGPU over an AMD iGPU every day of the week. Intel Quick Sync has been, and still is, the gold standard in terms of quality. AMD still significantly lags behind both Nvidia, a close 2nd place, and Intel in terms of quality.
If you will likely have more than one tone mapped stream simultaneously, you should plan on a system with a dedicated GPU.
