Phoronix: Intel IGC 1.0.9933 Brings DG2/Alchemist & Xe HPC Improvements, More SPIR-V Plumbing

I like that Intel creates this Intel Graphics Compiler.
But if I look, what Intel makes OpenSource, I see that
- Intel is in Graphic Cards the newcomer. Intel is behind NVidia and AMD. And as newcommer Intel published Graphics compiler and other graphics parts as OpenSource.
- Intel is in CPUs the bellwether. And as bellwether its C++ compiler and Fortran compiler and all what have to do with the CPU is closed source.
