Tucked away within a merge to Mesa entitled, 'intel/genxml: Support importing, which cuts the overall xml file size almost in half' Intel Linux graphics driver engineers are slowly beginning to start work on the 'Xe2' graphics support to be found with Lunar Lake processors.

The decision last month for the Linux kernel to disable random number generation (RNG) for all AMD fTPMs ended up having some unintended consequences on Intel systems that ended up breaking S3 suspend behavior.

The perf event changes were submitted this week for the ongoing Linux 6.6 kernel merge window with changes this cycle for Intel, AMD, and Arm.

The Linux mitigation for the Intel Gather Data Sampling (GDS) 'Downfall' vulnerability was updated to reflect all Skylake and Kabylake CPUs being vulnerable to this nasty issue

Intel engineer Ilpo Järvinen posted a set of Linux kernel driver patches to introduce a new 'bwctrl' PCI Express Bandwidth Controller driver and associated PCIe cooling driver to allow for limiting the PCIe link speed in the event of any system thermal issues.

Intel this afternoon released the Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) v1.2 SDK as this gaming image upscaling tech that leverages AI deep learning for better performance and less image degradation on Intel Arc Graphics as well as from other GPU vendors.

Intel engineers are working on enhancing the x86_64 CPU microcode updating experience under Linux and in particular the work is ultimately around better supporting of late microcode loading on Linux for Intel systems with a primary focus on Intel servers / enterprise users.

Preventing some modern Windows games from running on Intel Arc Graphics under Linux with Valve's Steam Play has been held up by lack of sparse support within Intel's ANV Vulkan driver

It's been ten years since Intel launched the Haswell processors that were great for the time followed by Broadwell

Since last year Intel Linux engineers have been busy working on FRED support for the Flexible Return and Event Delivery specification that will be found with future-generation processors
