It is raining updates in the software market as we speak. Towards the smartphone end of the spectrum, we have new Android 11 based OS updates coming one after the other. Meanwhile, the PC side of the spectrum hasn’t just been warming the bench. They too have in store for you some crucial updates to better your experience. Intel, in particular, has brought us a new version of Intel Graphics Driver, which is for the Windows 10 platform. This update will be a rejoice for gaming enthusiasts.
The DCH drivers are supported on Universal Windows Platform. Microsoft in the later part of 2018 decided to move on to a Universal Drivers architecture. Windows 10 and its forthcoming updates since have all been in line with the same cause. The highlights of this particular update happen to be the enhancements it is bringing to gaming. Performance optimization has been made for both Wastelands 3 and Crusader Kings III. Additionally, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, Windbound and Surgeon Simulator 2 have been verified playable on Intel Iris Plus Graphics or better. From the developer’s point of view, the inclusion of Pre-Production release of OneAPI Level Zero Runtime* will surely not go unnoticed. The objective of the ‘oneAPI’ Level-Zero Application Programming Interface (API) is to provide direct-to-metal interfaces to offload accelerator devices.
Notebooks and Desktops functioning on 10th Generation Intel Core processors with Intel’s Iris Plus Graphics or better will only benefit from this. If you aren’t familiar with Intel Graphics in terms of their peculiar Lake suffixed codenaming, then here’s your tip. Iris Plus fall under the codename Coffee Lake (Intel® Iris™ Plus Graphics 655) and Kaby Lake(Intel® Iris® Plus Graphics 640/650).
