Today, the Intel open-source engineering group delivered the initial batch of "DRM-intel-gt-next" updates to DRM-Next. This selection of DRM updates will make its way into the Linux 5.19 migration. The pull request is slated to offer additional updates and optimizations for the newest Linux kernel, coming this year.

The gist --

Michael Larabel, the owner of the popular Linux news and information website
Phoronix, notes that Linux 5.19 will be the ultimate build for Intel's DG2 and
Alchemist support for the company's next-gen graphics technology.

GPU usage reporting on a user level, utilizing the intel_gpu_top instruction,
will allow increasingly user-friendly additions to the newest kernel. These
changes have taken almost four years to initiate fully into Linux, especially
with the multiple freezes over the last number of years.

The newest updates from Intel are improvements and enhancements to Intel's frame-
buffer pinning logic in the driver to support Wayland's Weston compositor. Now,
users will be able to experience 60 FPS renders on displays as high as 8K
resolution quality.
