I just had an inconclusive rummage: your CPU seems to want "10th Gen"
graphics. The boundary between old and new Intel drivers is up to 10th
and from 11th. (11th and up is in with arc / iris). So, 10th should be
roughly the same as 9th which the i915 driver does support.

   git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel

however has gen9, but no mention of a gen10.

$ git grep -i gen10
$

It might be that it isn't necessary, but I would say it doesn't bode well,
and try the modesetting driver instead...
