Phoronix: Intel Iris Gallium3D Driver Lands Support For Broadwell Graphics

The in-development Iris Gallium3D driver that is being developed as Intel's next-gen, open-source OpenGL Linux graphics driver started out with supporting Skylake graphics and newer. But now with the latest Iris driver code, the hardware support has been extended to cover Broadwell graphics...

Typo:

but rather just getting the base supprot in order.

"Xe Graphics"? I feel a little bad about the name...

Still rocking? Broadwell is only 5 years old which is middle age for a computer. My Haswell machine is still going strong for everything i use it for, albeit with a Nvidia graphics card but its still not old enough for me to be feeling pain from still having this setup

As a Broadwell-CPU laptop owner this is great news, can't wait to start testing it with Wine Gallium Nine. Considering how fast technology moves, I find these CPU's still good for their mild age.
