    Mesa 26.3 Enables Nova Lake iGPUs by Default on Linux

    Intel’s Mesa graphics stack has stopped treating four Nova Lake integrated-GPU families as experimental: Nova Lake S, U, H, and HX device entries are now enabled by default in current Mesa 26.3 development code, rather than requiring a manual force probe override. The change covers the Iris...

    Intel Nova Lake-S May Shift 80–90% of Compute Tiles to 18A

    Intel may manufacture most of the compute tiles for its forthcoming Nova Lake-S desktop processors on its own 18A process rather than relying primarily on TSMC’s 2nm production, according to a new report cited by TweakTown and other outlets. The reported change follows an improvement in Intel...
