![]() ![]() ![]() For those interested in oneAPI Level Zero and/or OpenCL, Intel continues investing heavily in their IGC + Compute-Runtime stack there for all of the GPU compute capabilities both for integrated and discrete hardware. Intel DG2/Alchemist makes use of the i915 DRM kernel driver, the Intel Iris Gallium3D driver for OpenGL, and the ANV driver for Vulkan. Intel's discrete graphics driver support follows their same upstream-focused, open-source path as we have enjoyed with Gen12 Xe Graphics. ![]() Arc Graphics is an extension of the open ecosystem Intel has been building around their Linux graphics stack for years.įor what it's worth, with this ASRock graphics card at least only Windows 10 and Windows 11 are listed as supported operating systems. I've been extensively covering their Linux dGPU driver bring-up since the start and so I continue to be surprised when finding users on Reddit, other sites and forums, etc, continue to question whether the Intel Arc Graphics driver is open-source or not, etc. Of course, over recent years there has been a lot of refactoring to introduce the concept of device local (discrete) video memory and other features not of relevance when their driver could just assume integrated graphics and not have to worry about discrete GPUs. Intel's discrete GPU Linux driver support builds off their open-source integrated graphics driver stack they have been assembling for many years. The ASRock Challenger ITX ARC 380 began shipping this week to US customers. Intel Arc Graphics A380 are beginning to appear in US retail channels. Here is some initial commentary with running the Intel Arc Graphics A380 on Linux! ![]() Well, it's fully open-source aside from the usual firmware caveat and running on Linux. A common misconception or confusion I've heard many times over the past number of months has been questioning whether Intel's discrete GPU driver support on Linux is open-source or is closed-source, etc. Intel GPUs from the consumer desktop Arc Graphics hardware to the Intel Data Center Flex GPU Series "Arctic Sound M" and forthcoming Xe HPC Ponte Vecchio are built around fully open-source drivers. ![]()
