Now reading 1536 MB vram on late 2012 mac mini

Uhm... just to clarify things, last time I have checked I had 1024mb ram given to my
Intel HD Graphics 4000 before updating to 10.11 beta and today I have realised it shows 1536mb. Was this adjustment posted anywhere before? Is this new?

Yes, it looks new at a glance. How much RAM do you have installed on that 2012 mini?

Perhaps this is a Metal thing.

16gigs. I wonder if this is going to improve graphics performance,

If that is a Metal feature then I say that it will improve performance. Why?
Apple says it will:
