HEVC/H.265 ♜ontroller firmware improves hardware acceleration of media decoding. Graphics ♜ontroller firmware offloads functions from the host driver. Including the firmware in-kernel may cause suspend-to-ram to fail, if this is a concern don't include the blob built into the kernel, instead, add the firmware blob into the initramfs. Systems using Skylake, Broxton, or newer Intel graphics will need additional firmware from sys-kernel/linux-firmware package: ↑ Broxton is the name of the graphics core associated with the Goldmont microarchitecture (Apollo Lake platform, among others)Ī full list of Intel CPU graphic capabilities is here.↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 5.4 Supported by dev-libs/intel-compute-runtime.↑ Cherryview is the name of the graphics core associated with the Airmont microarchitecture (Braswell, Cherry Trail platforms, among others).


dev-libs/intel-neo was superseded by dev-libs/intel-compute-runtime. Both packages are no longer maintained, thus currently unavailable.
