Intel Xe2 Brings Native 64-bit Integer Arithmetic
As some more exciting news for upcoming Xe2 graphics with Lunar Lake integrated graphics and Battlemage discrete GPUs, the latest open-source driver activity for Linux has confirmed Xe2 supporting native 64-bit integer arithmetic.
There wasn't native 64-bit integer support for the Intel graphics between then and now but relied on emulation in such cases for 64-bit ints. As a nice prospect particularly for workstation GPU needs, this native 64-bit int math support appears to be present across all Intel Xe2 graphics. Hopefully for Mesa 24.2 due out in August there will be good Xe2 support ready given Lunar Lake mobile processors appearing in Q3 and likely seeing the Intel Battlemage graphics cards before year's end.
