Any one know if their openCL has Image support? If so it will make them players in the creator space unlike AMD who have chosen to abandon that segment of the market.

Blender doesn't work without image support, right? If this assumption is true: Yes, Blender works with intel-compute-runtime after allowing non-whitelisted GPUs via env var.

I don't think that is definitive. Do you have clinfo installed? If so can you do clinfo |less and then search for Image. Your CPU will likely have Image support so you need to see if it is listed under the section for the GPU. In any case thanks for your input.

Yes, they do support cl image. As does AMD.

Yeah, I've checked it: clinfo indeed shows image support for intel-compute-runtime on Linux.

Thanks a lot for checking. That is very good news.
