Shulou(Shulou.com)12/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, December 17, Intel submitted its first drm-xe-next Pull Request before the Linux 6.8 merger, replacing the traditional i915 DRM kernel driver on Linux with the latest Xe GPU driver.

In fact, Intel has supported Xe experimental features since Tiger Lake, but considering that i915 is still the dominant driver for Meteor Lake and Alchemist platforms, Intel's goal should be to make this Intel Xe driver the main driver for Lunar Lake and subsequent platforms.

CTOnews.com summarizes all the changes that Intel added to Xe2 (Battlemage) GPU as follows:

In addition to the Xe graphics driver, Intel has introduced support for next-generation products for existing software packages, such as Intel VC Intrinsics, which already has support for Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake graphics architectures. This means that the Xe-LPG+ (Arrow Lake / Alchemist) and Xe2 (Lunar Lake / Battlemage) architectures have gained support for the software, demonstrating Intel's enthusiasm in Linux development.
