Not a Dev, but I am sure an Intel IRIS Graphics could run it, any PDX game really just needs processing power (RAM and CPU)

The reason for this thread is that the game requirements do not list the Intel Iris graphic card is compatible:
Minimum Requirements:
Recommended Requirements:
See, there is no mention of Intel Iris.

It's more powerful than both the 320 and the 320M (The latter of which must be what they mean, there are not Macs with the 320...)
The confusing thing is that Mac requirements for graphics are 1/5th of PC requirements, which also blows the "Paradox games only need CPU!" statement out of the water - there are far more graphics in the game than previous Paradox titles.

My understanding is that Stellaris is different from the other PDX games. It has more GPU-instensive graphics than EU/CK/Vicky.

The devs would have to ask their QA staff to provide the testing results for these things. The devs use only a certain configuration of computers for work, they probably do not recall what performance goes with what hardware off hand.
However, the QA staff and others have a non disclosure agreement they have signed, which means that only certain people on the Paradox staff can release certain information from the testing. As for whom that may be, the person that updated the recent minimum requirements on this forum would be the closest to that level of authorization. An Alternative is the stream manager for Paradox, he would have the technical background and experience testing Stellaris on various platforms, but most of his platforms would be stream capable, meaning rather high end performance wise, not low end.
It's sort of a catch 22 in a bureaucracy.
I concur with Jaol's point. Ever since CK2's version of Clausewitz as far as I know, there's been 3d models and textures in the game, but they haven't done much with it until they modified the engine to produce many new graphics effects for Stellaris.
It takes a certain amount of cpu resources to handle a performance gpu. When the gpu is heavily taxed, I expect the cpu to be under additional load and thread processing as well.

So far, none of the replies really answer the question with certainty. Would be best if a PDX employee could take a moment and answer it.
But there's also no 320M that has 1024MB VRAM...
Well it isn't easy to since we don't have the system requirements they've given leaves out Intel graphics and none of us have the game to try with...
That said, they have a Mac version, Intel Iris is as good as the GPU gets in any Mac besides the Mac Pro, if Intel Iris couldn't handle the game it'd be a complete waste of time to make a Mac version.
