Today, The Khronos Group has released the next big update the Vulkan graphics API specification with Vulkan 1.2 now available.

Not exactly surprising, Intel have stated that for their new discrete GPU that Linux gaming will have a focus for them.

Writing on their personal blog, Jason Ekstrand from the Intel Mesa team has written up some information on what they've been doing to improve the Intel drivers on Linux.

Intel has now officially confirmed that they will release a discrete GPU that will be available in 2020.

Yesterday, Intel officially announced the release of their new CPUs that come with Radeon RX Vega M Graphics. On top of that, they've launched two new NUC models (their mini-PCs).

More interesting Intel news for you today! Not only are they teaming up with AMD for graphics tech in a new CPU, they've also hired the former-AMD Radeon Chief, Raja Koduri. They've also said they're expanding into the high-end discrete graphics solutions market.

This is rather fun news, Intel have announced a new CPU that will utilize AMD graphics with HBM2 memory.

The open source OpenGL implementation Mesa has a new release 13.0.3 which, as the minor version bump indicates, brings a number of bug fixes to RadeonSI and Intel.

Oh wow, didn't expect this so soon. The Mesa driver for Intel graphics and Nvidia Fermi (GeForce 400, GeForce 500) on Linux have now reached OpenGL 4.3 compliance with "ARB_robust_buffer_access_behavior" now being done.

Not long after gaining OpenGL 4.0 support, Intel's Mesa driver is now able to support OpenGL 4.2 and it's not far off 4.3.

Not a long one, but still really nice to see. Intel were at GDC showing off Vulkan running on their hardware.
