Intel Continues Readying Linux For Lunar Lake's New Adaptive Sharpening Filter
Back in February I wrote about Intel's open-source graphics driver engineers working on a new adaptive sharpening filter capability to be found with upcoming Xe2 graphics starting with Lunar Lake
Traditional sharpening techniques often apply a uniform level of enhancement across entire image, which sometimes result in over-sharpening of some areas and potential loss of natural details. The Lunar Lake Linux support overall appears to be in good standing already with the latest open-source bits but it is around the Xe2 integrated graphics that a lot of work remains flying around and at the moment is still disabled by default (hidden behind the Xe driver's force probe parameter). We'll see how the Xe2 graphics are by the time Lunar Lake laptops begin shipping later this quarter and I intend to buy one on launch day to provide for Linux testing of this exciting Intel SoC.
