Actually, KVM doesn't necessarily require a second GPU for acceleration. If you have a CPU with integrated graphics, you can use that for the host system and pass through a dedicated GPU to the VM.
The CPU with "integrated graphics" is a second GPU.
Referring to integrated graphics as a 'second GPU' is somewhat misleading. They do provide additional graphics processing, but they're part of the CPU and not a separate, dedicated graphics card.
But it still processes GPU code, telling anyone you can run vulkan on your 'fancy CPU' they'll probably look at you like youre crazy
Also then for a device without a dedicated, would you consider not to have a gpu?
Running Vulkan on integrated graphics isn't the point here. Integrated graphics in a CPU are not what people typically refer to as a GPU. So, if someone asks what GPU I have, I wouldn't say 'Intel HD Graphics' or such; that's just the integrated graphics capability of the processor, not a discrete GPU.
Yes, absolutely.
