Linux 6.14 Preps UHBR For Intel Panther Lake, Lower Alchemist GPU Power Use With Whitelisted CPUs


Intel software engineers this week sent out two pull requests landing more of their final kernel graphics driver feature changes destined for the upcoming Linux 6.14 kernel.

The feature cut-off of new material for Linux 6.14 by way of DRM-Next is quickly drawing to an end while on Tuesday were new Intel pull requests with some remaining code that was worked out and passed testing over the holidays. So those with some older Intel CPUs will now be able to enjoy lower CPU power consumption with DG2/Alchemist graphics cards thanks to the workaround/fixes but notable is the latest Arrow Lake generation processors not being listed here. The merge window should open in late January and the stable kernel out in March ahead of appearing in the likes of Fedora 42 and Ubuntu 25.04 this spring.
