Open Image Denoise 2.3 Prepares For Arrow Lake, Lunar Lake & Battlemage

Intel's Open Image Denoise open-source software that is a denoising library used by Blender and other applications is out with a new feature release as it prepares for the integrated graphics of upcoming Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake processors as well as nearing the launch of Xe2 / Battlemage discrete graphics.

This CPU/GPU denoising library is up to version 2.3 this morning. Open Image Denoise 2.3 in addition to the Arrow Lake / Lunar Lake / Battlemage hardware support brings significantly improved image quality using the ray-tracing filter in the high quality mode, a new "fast" quality mode for around 1.5~2x better performance for interactive/real-time previews, async functions now execute asynchronously on CPU cores too, new API functions, and more.

Downloads and more details on today's Open Image Denoise 2.3 release via GitHub. I'll be working on new Open Image Denoise benchmarks shortly with the latest CPUs and GPUs.
