/ Coffee Lake Refresh / Whiskey Lake / Comet Lake The Kaby Lake Refresh line of processors was introduced in October 2017. New features: HDCP 2.2 support Gemini Lake/Gemini Lake Refresh New features: HDMI 2.0 support, VP9 10-bit Profile2 hardware decoder Gen11 architecture Ice Lake New features: 10 nm Gen 11 GPU microarchitecture, two HEVC 10-bit encode pipelines, three 4K display pipelines (or 2× 5K60, 1× 4K120), variable rate shading (VRS), and integer scaling. While the microarchitecture continues to support double-precision floating-point as previous versions did, the mobile configurations of it do not include the feature and therefore on these it is supported only through emulation. Xe-LP architecture (Gen12) These are based on the Intel Xe-LP microarchitecture, the low power variant of the Intel Xe GPU architecture also known as Gen 12. New features include Sampler Feedback, Dual Queue Support, DirectX12 View Instancing Tier2, and AV1 8-bit and 10-bit fixed-function hardware decoding. Arc Alchemist Tile GPU Intel Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake will use Intel Arc Alchemist Tile GPU microarchitecture. New features: DirectX 12 Ultimate Feature Level 12_2 support, 8K 10-bit AV1 hardware encoder, HDMI 2.1 48Gbps native support Arc Battlemage Tile GPU Intel Lunar Lake will use Intel Arc Battlemage Tile GPU microarchitecture. Features Intel Insider Beginning with Sandy Bridge, the graphics processors include a form of digital copy protection and digital rights management (DRM) called Intel Insider, which allows decryption of protected media within the processor. Previously there was a similar technology called Protected Audio Video Path (PAVP). HDCP Intel Graphics Technology supports the HDCP technology, but the actual HDCP support depends on the computer's motherboard. Intel Quick Sync Video Intel Quick Sync Video is Intel's hardware video encoding and decoding technology, which is integrated into some of the Intel CPUs. The name "Quick Sync" refers to the use case of quickly transcoding ("syncing") a video from, for example, a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to a format appropriate to, for example, a smartphone. Quick Sync was introduced with the Gen 6 in Sandy Bridge microprocessors on 9 January 2011. Graphics Virtualization Technology Graphics Virtualization Technology (GVT) was announced 1 January 2014 and introduced at the same time as Intel Iris Pro. Intel integrated GPUs support the following sharing methods: Direct passthrough (GVT-d): the GPU is available for a single virtual machine without sharing with other machines Paravirtualized API forwarding (GVT-s): the GPU is shared by multiple virtual machines
