Linux 6.11 Kernel Features Deliver A Lot For New/Upcoming Intel & AMD Hardware


With all of the exciting hardware launches this summer, I'm a bit behind on writing my summary of the Linux 6.11 kernel features for that next kernel version due out in mid-September.

Linux 6.11 as often is the case each kernel cycle brings a lot of new improvements for recent/upcoming Intel and AMD platforms. Intel also has initial Panther Lake audio support, more NPU driver enhancements, and a range of other kernel additions to benefit their platforms. We'll ultimately see how the support is when RDNA4 graphics cards debut in the coming months and whether Linux 6.11 is a sufficient baseline or if 6.12+ is necessary, besides the latest Mesa.
