Intel is gearing up to support its next-generation products, including Lunar Lake CPUs, Panther Lake CPUs, and Battlemage GPUs for Linux 6.11. The upcoming Moon Lake CPUs, expected to be released next quarter, have seen significant support within Linux. A new patch has been added to provide support for DLVR, which helps reduce power input and increase efficiency for these ultra-low power SOCs. While there are no new functionality attributes compared to previous generations, there are changes in MMIO offset and bit positions compared to older CPUs.
In addition, Intel is also working on future generations with support for its Panther Lake CPUs, which are scheduled for the second half of 2025. The latest Panther Lake patches have been added to provide audio support, setting the stage for the launch of these future chips. Panther Lake is expected to feature next-generation technologies like Cougar Cove P-Cores and Celestial “Xe3” iGPU.
Furthermore, Intel’s Battlemage discrete GPUs from the “Xe2” family are receiving improved support on Linux. New drm-intel-next patches for the DRM driver enable Battlemage GPUs to connect to a display, with additional support for Panel Replay technology for Xe2 GPUs, offering energy-saving capabilities.
Overall, Intel is working diligently to provide support for its upcoming CPU and GPU architectures. Lunar Lake CPUs and Battlemage GPUs are set to launch in the second half of this year, while Panther Lake CPUs will launch in the second half of next year. This timely support from Intel indicates exciting tech developments on the horizon in the world of CPUs and GPUs.
