📰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 Driver Posted For Intel Silicon Security Engine Interface "ISSEI" Since Intel Meteor Lake has been the Intel Silicon Security Engine to serve as a silicon root-of-trust for secure firmware loading, boot measurements, and similar functionality. This Intel Silicon Security Engine has been built on with Lunar Lake and Panther Lake as well as set to take on more importance with future Intel hardware platforms. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-ISSEI-Linux-Driver #intel#linux

📰AMD & Intel Roll Out New Linux Updates For Today's Patch Tuesday Today's Patch Tuesday is a busier one than normal for the quarter. Both AMD and Intel have rolled out new updates for Linux customers among other security disclosures today.

📰Running Four Intel Graphics Cards Under Linux On Ubuntu 26.04 It's been nearly one year to the week since Intel introduced Project Battlematrix as their initiative for improving their Linux driver support for the Arc Pro B-Series with enhancements such as bettering the multi-GPU support in allowing up to eight Arc Pro GPUs per system as well as other open-source driver optimizations in the era of AI. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-pro-b70-four #intel#linux#opensource#ubuntu

📰 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 Erroneously Thinks Intel Bartlett Lake CPUs Run At 7GHz With Intel's recently-launched Bartlett Lake P-core-only processors intended for the embedded market, there is a rather surprising oversight under Linux: the Intel P-State driver reporting a 7.0+ GHz clock speed. While many would yearn for a 7GHz CPU, the Core 9 273PE where this issue was discovered in reality can only boost up to 5.7GHz for its maximum turbo frequency... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Bartlett-Lake-7GHz-Linux #intel#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

📰 Intel's Vulkan Linux Driver Now Supports Device Generated Commands "DGC" Exciting yesterday in the land of Intel's open-source Vulkan driver "ANV" for Linux systems was introducing experimental support for descriptor heaps with the VK_EXT_descriptor_heap extension. Today there is another separate exciting development for this open-source Intel driver: Vulkan device generated commands are finally merged!... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-ANV-Vulkan-DGC #intel#linux#opensource
