62 Patches Posted For Stripping Classic Initrd Support From The Linux Kernel

Phoronix - 13. Září 2025 - 11:12
Last month I wrote about initrd support potentially being on its way out of the Linux kernel. For years Linux developers have wanted to phase out the classic initial RAM disk support from the Linux kernel and it looks like that day may finally be near with patches having been posted for removing the support...

Intel Loses Another Prominent Linux Engineer - Now Going To NVIDIA

Phoronix - 13. Září 2025 - 1:18
In the past few months at Intel between layoffs / corporate reorganizations and some deciding to pursue job opportunities elsewhere, there have been unfortunate impacts to their Linux engineering resources. Intel over the summer lost some prominent Linux engineering talent and in turn has even led to upstream Linux drivers being orphaned along with other driver maintainers departing and various other staffing changes. Unfortunate for Intel, another notable Linux name has left the company...

Intel i915 vs. Xe Graphics Driver Benchmarks For Meteor Lake: Extra Performance In 2025

Phoronix - 12. Září 2025 - 15:35
Last month I provided a fresh look at the Intel Arc A-Series graphics between the i915 and Xe kernel graphics drivers for Linux systems. The aging i915 driver is the default for the Alchemist GPUs but there is "experimental" support with the modern Xe kernel graphics driver. There were some performance advantages for the Arc A-Series if switching over to that newer driver option. Similarly, there are advantages with Meteor Lake too when moving from the i915 to Xe Linux drivers. Here are benchmarks to quantify that advantage.

Intel Linux Graphics Driver Seeing 2~5% Faster Shader Compilation Times, Up To ~20%

Phoronix - 12. Září 2025 - 14:46
A few days ago I wrote about Intel fixing some Panther Lake Xe3 graphics performance issues ahead of launch. The downside of those performance optimizations for Panther Lake was that they led to longer shader compilation times. The good news though is that some separate improvements were merged now for Mesa 25.3 to help enhance the Intel graphics shader compilation performance...

AMD EPYC 9575F CPUs For GPU/AI Servers Show Leading Performance In Benchmarks

Phoronix - 11. Září 2025 - 13:30
Since the launch of the AMD EPYC 9005 series nearly one year ago, I have performed hundreds of different benchmarks on these EPYC "Turin" processors across a wide range of workloads/disciplines to really terrific performance, power efficiency, and value. AMD EPYC 9005 performs exceptionally well compared to the competition from Intel and ARM CPU vendors. One area though I hadn't explored to this point was how well the AMD EPYC 9005 series performs for serving as the host CPU for GPU/AI servers. That changed as I recently wrapped up some benchmarks exploring that area using the AMD EPYC 9575F and it managed to accelerate past the available competition in proving capable of being the superior host processor for AI servers.
