Intel Begins Working On Next-Gen Xe3 Graphics With Linux 6.13

[iyanmv]

The iGPU on the (mobile) Meteor Lake CPUs are still unusable! Both i915 and the (still experimental) xe drivers work horribly on my Thinkpad X1 Gen 112 with an Intel Ultra 7 155H. But I've learn my lesson, never again Intel. I will go full AMD in the future. My desktop is all AMD, I can't wait to get a full AMD laptop as well. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

How about first make the xe kmd driver performant ?

I understand the sentiment, but it's not like they are going to stop selling CPUs while the Linux drivers get worked on. And almost every consumer SKU has an iGPU. Those iGPUs are going to get tweaked every generation.

The quote in the article was from the top post of December 2023. That's hardly newsworthy in October 2024? Oded also left Intel at the end of July, Michael even reported on it.

lets see if Xe KMD is even fixable at all, so far it has been a complete disaster
also nice to see PTL starting to get code more than a year before launch
