The Intel Iris Plus G7 is the best among integrated graphics processors used in the 10th Gen Intel Core G-series main processors. Currently, the most popular processors with the Iris Plus G7 are the 10th Gen Intel Core i7-1065G7 and i5-1035G7.
With its 64 execution units, the Intel Iris Plus G7 is faster than the 48-execution unit Iris Plus G4 and 32-execution unit Intel UHD G1, all used in the 10th Gen Intel Core G-series processors. The 10th Gen Intel Core lineup also includes the Core U-series processors with Intel UHD graphics featuring 24 execution units.
Despite their differences, all of the mentioned integrated graphics processors are in the entry-level category. The Iris Plus G7 can be described as an improved entry-level graphics processor.
Intel Iris Plus G7 Graphics Benchmark
Here’s a benchmark score of the Intel Iris Plus G7 compared to other widely used graphics processors for laptops.
The Intel Iris Plus G7 is clearly faster than its Iris Plus G4, UHD G1, and UHD relatives used in the 10th Gen Intel Core processors. The Iris Plus G7 performs similarly to entry-level dedicated video cards, such as the Nvidia GeForce MX series. It’s also comparable to the AMD Vega 10 integrated graphics, which is a direct competitor to the Iris Plus G7. But, they all still lag a lot behind the full-blown gaming laptop video cards like the Nvidia GeForce GTX series.
Real World Gaming on Iris Plus G7
Although the Intel Iris Plus G7 can be generally rated as a low-end graphics processor, it can run many of the most played PC games. And, it can do it more smoothly than other integrated graphics processors. Many of the popular games can run even on the very basic and widely used Intel UHD graphics, while the Iris Plus G7 delivers noticeable improvement in gameplay smoothness. Just like the lower-end Nvidia GeForce MX video cards. As for hard-core AAA games, the Iris Plus G7 is generally capable of running them on low in-game graphics detail settings and resolutions.
You can take a look at Iris Plus G7 gameplay videos in the Reviews, Q&A, and Videos section below.
Note: The benchmark scores of the listed graphics processors are averages measured across various devices with these processors. The scores and real-world performance of the Intel Iris Plus G7 and compared GPUs may vary depending on the notebooks' other components, settings, cooling, and other factors (especially single-channel vs faster dual-channel RAM and speed of the main processor). However, the benchmark results, as well as gameplay videos, are good indicators of the graphics processors' performance.

Yes you can. However, some features of Photoshop and other apps that heavily rely on the graphics processor (“graphics acceleration”) may not work as smooth as on laptops with high-performance dedicated video cards like the Nvidia GeForce GTX or RTX series.
BTW, I’m not sure whether some of the Adobe programs require a dedicated video card, so please check their system requirements.

I would go with an actual dedicated GPU for that as it’s going to be able to handle the load better. The Processor will have to work two jobs, instead of one.
With the dedicated GPU, it’ll just be overall, better. Otherwise, you’ll be waiting 10+ minutes for a job that’ll take the dedicated GPU a couple of seconds.
