A new news has come from Intel, which plans to enter the graphics card industry with Arc Alchemist graphics cards, that will please Linux users. The company brings Resizable BAR technology, which provides increased gaming performance in some scenarios, to Linux devices with its new cards.
Big step for Linux systems
Intelligent access memory (SAM) on the AMD side, and Resizable BAR on the Nvidia side, the new technology allows the processor to reach the full memory capacity of the graphics card via the PCIe bus instead of 256 MB parts. According to the shared information, Resizable BAR support, which is available in the Linux kernel and Mesa drivers but needs to be optimized, can be made available with the v5.13 kernel update.
Planning to launch new desktop graphics cards in 2022, Intel will present its first laptop solutions with Arc Alchemist architecture to users in the coming months. However, the new support will be a big step forward for Linux systems, which we also encounter on Valve’s Steam Deck console.
