📰Intel's Cache Aware Scheduling Inches Closer To Being Merged For Linux I have been writing about the Cache Aware Scheduling work led by Intel engineers on the Linux kernel for more than a year. I've also tested out Cache Aware Scheduling on both Intel and AMD CPUs with the patched Linux kernel to great success. And thus very happy to see the Cache Aware Scheduling patches inching closer to the mainline Linux kernel... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Cache-Aware-Sched-Nears #amd#intel#kernel#linux

📰 Linux Scheduler Work Helping Boost Gaming Performance On Old "Potato" Hardware Prominent Linux kernel engineer Peter Zijlstra of Intel has been working on a set of scheduler patches to help with enhancing the behavior and delivering better results, especially for aging hardware he described as a "potato" -- an Intel Sandy Bridge desktop CPU with AMD Radeon RX 580 Polaris graphics. Benchmark results are promising from this work for gaming on old hardware while other workloads may ultimately stand to benefit too... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Flatten-The-Pick #amd#intel#kernel#linux

📰 Linux Drivers For The AMD Elan SoCs From The 1990s On Track For Retirement Merged for the current Linux 7.1 cycle was beginning to phase out the Intel 486 processor support from the mainline kernel moving forward. That initial step with Linux 7.1 was dropping the various Kconfig options to allow compiling Linux kernel builds for targeting various i486 platforms. As part of that, the AMD Elan SoC configuration patches were dropped. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Elan-Linux-Driver-Removal #amd#intel#kernel#linux

📰Many Wonderful Improvements Expected For Linux 7.1, Especially For AMD & Intel With Linux 7.0 expected for release later today, in turn the Linux 7.1 merge window will kick off for the two week period of landing all sorts of exciting new features, changes, and removal of old features from the kernel. Here is a look at some of what is on the table for the Linux 7.1 merge window... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.1-Features-Early-Look #amd#intel#kernel#linux

📰 AMD Geode CPU Support Being Orphaned By Linux For those with fond memories of the AMD Geode x86 embedded processors, the Linux kernel is set to orphan these since discontinued and obsolete CPUs... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Geode-Orphaned-By-Linux #amd#kernel#linux

📰 AMD Posts Newest Linux Patches To Accelerate Page Migration For Better Performance Posted to the Linux kernel mailing list this week was the newest revision of a patch series originally started in early 2025 by a NVIDIA engineer for accelerating page migration. Now being worked on by AMD engineers, this accelerated page migration via batch copies and hardware offloading continues to show promising results... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Accelerated-Page-Migration-v4 #amd#kernel#linux

📰 The New Linux Kernel AI Bot Uncovering Bugs Is A Local LLM On Framework Desktop + AMD Ryzen AI Max Earlier this month on Phoronix we were the first to draw attention to a new fuzzing tool / AI bot uncovering kernel bugs by Greg Kroah-Hartman, the "second in command" for Linux kernel development and stable maintainer. Greg has now shared more light on the "gregkh_clanker_t1000" for this tool that has been uncovering more Linux kernel bugs the past few weeks... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Clanker-T1000-AMD-Ryzen-AI-Max #amd#kernel#linux

📰 Linux May Drop Legacy 3Com, AMD, and Xircom Ethernet Drivers The Linux kernel may drop 18 old Ethernet drivers for ISA- and PCMCIA-era hardware as maintainers question whether the aging code still has active users. 🔗 Source: https://linuxiac.com/linux-may-drop-legacy-3com-amd-and-xircom-ethernet-drivers/ #amd#kernel#linux

📰 Valve Developer Further Improves Old AMD GPUs: HD 7870 XT Finally Working On Linux Timur Kristóf of Valve's Linux graphics driver team is the one that worked on improving the old AMD Radeon GCN 1.0/1.1 graphics card support by making AMDGPU driver improvements so it could become the default for these Southern Islands and Sea Islands GPUs rather than the legacy Radeon kernel driver. That meant better performance, RADV Vulkan support out-of-the-box, and other benefits. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Harvested-GPUs-Linux #amd#kernel#linux

📰 AMD Linux Graphics Driver Introducing "Power Module" To Better Match Windows Behavior With the set of today's AMDGPU kernel graphics driver Display Core (DC) patches is a rather curious addition with wiring up the Linux code to a "power module" that looks like it will better match Microsoft Windows behavior with the AMD Radeon driver around display-related power savings features... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-DC-Power-Module #amd#kernel#linux

📰 Linux Kernel 7.1 Drops 486 and AMD Elan CPU Support Linux kernel 7.1 development begins with x86 changes removing 486, 486SX, and AMD Elan CPU support. 🔗 Source: https://linuxiac.com/linux-kernel-7-1-drops-486-and-amd-elan-cpu-support/ #amd#kernel#linux
