    Sparse for the (two decade old) i915 driver is fine if you only need x86-64 support which would probably be most of us. Other architectures that could use the new Xe driver for DG2 (Alchemist) still wont have HUC (“for AVC/HEVC/VP9/AV1 low power encoding bitrate control, including CBR, VBR, etc encoding”) right? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/xe/kernel/-/issues/234

    Intel kinda backed itself into a smelly corner with its consumer GPU card debut. A year in and it’s still quite a mess.
