More Intel Diamond Rapids Enablement Landing For Linux 6.12
In addition to Intel's Linux engineers being busy preparing hardware enablement support for next-gen Panther Lake client processors, they are also busy beginning to plumb Linux driver support for next-generation Xeon 'Diamond Rapids' support as the successor to Xeon 6 Granite Rapids
This week meanwhile Intel engineer Srinivas Pandruvada sent out the patches for enabling Diamond Rapids support within the SST and TPMI power domain mapping code. With the TPMI and SST enablement for Diamond Rapids just needing the new model IDs added to the driver (the Family 19 / Panther Cove X ID), it's safe for adding the support to the ongoing Linux 6.12 kernel rather than waiting for the Linux v6.13 cycle since it doesn't risk regressing existing hardware support. With Granite Rapids having just launched, there's still another year to go until Diamond Rapids debuts but expect more Linux kernel patch activity to come in the weeks ahead given Intel's typically good early hardware enablement approach for ensuring nice Linux support and optimizations ahead of product launches -- especially when it comes to their server platforms.
