Intel recently decided to focus on Linux 6.1 support, as well as developing its “standalone support” graphics technology block, which will take the place of the company’s media encoding and decoding. The company has also further optimized its ARC GPU and Meteor Lake, or MTL Added Thunderbolt support for MTLas initially reported by the Phoronix website.
Intel’s new Meteor Lake, expected to arrive in the second half of 2023, changes the company’s design of its processors and offers a tiled approach to the company’s chips. The first addition the company has made to Linux 6.1 prior to the merge window is the introduction of the company’s VPU, or Versatile Processing Unit, planned for Meteor Lake to accelerate the inference engine. The acceleration allows the engine to apply analytic rules to the knowledge base used in artificial intelligence to extract new data.
The standalone multimedia station or SMU Meteor Lake by Intel it can play video without the need for a GPU. Prior to Meteor Lake, Intel is said to have put its media block in its integrated GPUs. With the 13th generation of Core CPUs, Intel has decided to separate the block from the integrated graphics and make the multimedia block essentially “autonomous”.
Intel can provide current Arc graphics standards (DG2) and performance for the new Meteor Lake graphics. The company continues to enable graphics support in Linux 6.1, and the recent separation for its GT engine coincides with the latest changes to the unreleased Linux kernel.
