I used a simple list because on macOS, Apple controls the hardware
configuration  (i.e. walled garden) so there aren't that many types of GPUs in
Macs and the GPUs are matched to a specific type of CPU (Intel or Silicon). For
example, Apple only shipped the Radeon GPUs currently in the list in certain
models of Intel MacBook Pros. Likewise, Apple only shipped the Intel HD
Graphics 6000 GPU (which was integrated into the CPU) in 2015 and 2017 models
of Intel MacBook Airs. No issues have been reported so far with any Silicon Mac
GPUs.

If we add the Intel HD Graphics 6000 GPU, we are up to a total of 3 GPUs that
will be checked with one macOS Metal call.
