His log suggests to me Optimus:
…
[ 140.813] (II) modeset(0): using drv /dev/dri/card1
[ 140.813] (II) modeset(G0): using drv /dev/dri/card0
…
[ 142.401] (II) modeset(0): [DRI2] DRI driver: crocus
…
[ 142.464] (II) modeset(G0): [DRI2] DRI driver: nouveau
…
IIRC, Crocus started with Haswell, ended with Skylake, so around 8-10 years old.
