Dedicated GPU, and yes, it should support OpenGL 4.4 or lower. iGPU means integrated, i.e., it's part of the processor.

It` a Gpu made by Ati, that will come on a card of it`s own that slots into the laptop motherboard.
Igpu is a term used for a cpu, that also contains a Gpu that is part of the silicone die package.

Part of the Cpu., An IGPU relies and gets its texture memory from your main system ram by reserving a chunk of it for it`s self.

Where as a Gpu soloution on a separate card such as the R9 M295x has the 4Gb of ram or texture memory on the card.
meaning it does not need to use in most cases your system ram.
