Intel integrated graphics going back to Broadwell continue to be supported by the Intel Media Driver 2023Q1 release up through next-generation Meteor Lake graphics. With the 2023Q1 quarterly release, improving the next-gen Meteor Lake support continues to play a major role.

Intel graphics back to Broadwell continue to be supported by this open-source video acceleration stack for Linux users.

The Meteor Lake support with this new release has enabled AV1 video encoding for a new error-resilient mode. There is also improved AVC / HEVC / AV1 video decoding robustness to better handle possible errors.
