Last month with the launch of Intel Battlemage with the Arc B580 graphics card, there was fairly nice open-source GPU compute performance but with some outliers... Today it's a pleasure to report that with the newest open-source GPU compute stack as of this past week, there are some nixe Xe2 / Battlemage improvements for enhancing the performance of some OpenCL workloads and also correcting the performance of some workloads that were in poor standing on launch day. As reported last week, Intel published an updated Compute Runtime that does contain some Xe2 / Battlemage (BMG) optimizations. But with Intel not publishing a concise change-log / release announcement on new Compute Runtime releases, it was hard to ascertain just how much of a performance improvement to expect.. After my newest round of tests compared to the Linux launch-day numbers, I'm even more pleased with the Intel Arc B580 performance.
