Customise Lens Distortion Corrections (3 modes).Customise Strength of Lens Softness Correction (4 levels).You can now customise even more options than with the previous version. You can Start, Pause, Re-order and cancel batches, and you can continue working while the software is processing. This includes a new batch system that lets you prepare different batches with different settings. The attached link to the Adobe Photoshop GPU FAQ page also indicates which PhotoShop features require a GPU for acceleration and which features won’t work without a GPU!.PureRAW 3 now supports more advanced queuing. However, Adobe indicates that, “If your using an older graphics card or driver, GPU functionality in Photoshop may be limited or not supported”. I don’t know if these features are as processor intensive as DeepPRIME and Denoise AI. PhotoShop also has features that take advantage of a graphics card’s GPU. You can use it without a GPU, but it just takes longer. The DeepPRIME AI algorithm requires a lot of processing. Like PureRAW and PhotoLab, a supported GPU will process Topaz files significantly faster than with the CPU alone. Topaz products also take advantage of the GPU to speed up processing.

I believe your assumptions are incorrect. So, DxO is putting something on the market that almost requires one to have a GPU, and in my case it would require me buying another machine. But, it’s important to note, that I run Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator and in every case I am not limited by not having a dedicated GPU.
