Intel Graphics Technology
Introduction Core i5 processor with integrated HD Graphics 2000'''Intel Graphics Technology''' ('''GT''') is the collective name for a series of integrated graphics processors (IGPs) produced by Intel that are manufactured on the same package or die as the central processing unit (CPU). It was first introduced in 2010 as '''Intel HD Graphics''' and renamed in 2017 as '''Intel UHD Graphics'''. '''Intel Iris Graphics''' and '''Intel Iris Pro Graphics''' are the IGP series introduced in 2013 with some models of Haswell processors as the high-performance versions of HD Graphics. Iris Pro Graphics was the first in the series to incorporate embedded DRAM. Since 2016 Intel refers to the technology as '''Intel Iris Plus Graphics''' with the release of Kaby Lake.In the fourth quarter of 2013, Intel integrated graphics represented, in units, 65% of all PC graphics processor shipments. However, this percentage does not represent actual adoption as a number of these shipped units end up in systems with discrete graphics cards.
History Before the introduction of Intel HD Graphics, Intel integrated graphics were built into the motherboard's northbridge, as part of the Intel's Hub Architecture. They were known as Intel Extreme Graphics and Intel GMA. As part of the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) design, the northbridge was eliminated and graphics processing was moved to the same die as the central processing unit (CPU).The previous Intel integrated graphics solution, Intel GMA, had a reputation of lacking performance and features, and therefore was not considered to be a good choice for more demanding graphics applications, such as 3D gaming. The performance increases brought by Intel's HD Graphics made the products competitive with integrated graphics adapters made by its rivals, Nvidia and ATI/AMD. Intel HD Graphics, featuring minimal power consumption that is important in laptops, was capable enough that PC manufacturers often stopped offering discrete graphics options in both low-end and high-end laptop lines, where reduced dimensions and low power consumption are important.
Generations Intel HD and Iris Graphics are divided into generations, and within each generation are divided into 'tiers' of increasing performance, denominated by the 'GTx' label. Each generation corresponds to the implementation of a Gen graphics microarchitecture with a corresponding GEN instruction set architecture since Gen4.===Gen5 architecture======= Westmere ====In January 2010, Clarkdale and Arrandale processors with '''Ironlake''' graphics were released, and branded as Celeron, Pentium, or Core with HD Graphics. There was only one specification: 12 execution units, up to 43.2 GFLOPS at 900 MHz. It can decode a H264 1080p video at up to 40 fps.Its direct predecessor, the GMA X4500, featured 10 EUs at 800 MHz, but it lacked some capabilities.

HD P4000 is featured on the Ivy Bridge E3 Xeon processors with the 12X5 v2 descriptor, and supports unbuffered ECC RAM.===Gen7.5 architecture======= Haswell ====Intel Haswell i7-4771 CPU, which contains integrated HD Graphics 4600 (GT2)In June 2013, Haswell CPUs were announced, with four tiers of integrated GPUs: Model number  Tier  Execution  units Shading  units eDRAM(MB) Boost clock(MHz) Max GFLOPS FP16 FP32 FP64 Consumer HD Graphics  GT1  10  80 N/A  1150 384 192 48 HD Graphics 4200  GT2  20  160 850  544 272 68 HD Graphics 4400  950–1150  608-736 304–368 76-92 HD Graphics 4600  900–1350  576-864 288–432 72-108 HD Graphics 5000  GT3  40  320 1000–1100  1280-1408 640–704 160-176 Iris Graphics 5100  1100–1200  1408-1536 704–768 176-192 Iris Pro Graphics 5200  GT3e  128  1300  1280-1728 640-864 160-216 Professional HD Graphics P4600  GT2  20  160 N/A  1200–1250  768-800 384–400 96-100 HD Graphics P4700  1250–1300  800-832 400–416 100-104The 128 MB of eDRAM in the Iris Pro GT3e is in the same package as the CPU, but on a separate die manufactured in a different process. Intel refers to this as a Level 4 cache, available to both CPU and GPU, naming it ''Crystalwell''. The Linux drm/i915 driver is aware and capable of using this eDRAM since kernel version 3.12.===Gen8 architecture======= Broadwell ====In November 2013, it was announced that Broadwell-K desktop processors (aimed at enthusiasts) would also carry Iris Pro Graphics.The following models of integrated GPU are announced for Broadwell processors: Model number  Tier  Execution  units Shading  units eDRAM  (MB) Boost clock  (MHz) Max  GFLOPS (FP32) Consumer HD Graphics  GT1  12  96 850  163.2 HD Graphics 5300  GT2  24  192 900  345.6 HD Graphics 5500  950  364.8 HD Graphics 5600  1050  403.2 HD Graphics 6000  GT3  48  384 1000  768 Iris Graphics 6100  1100  844.8 Iris Pro Graphics 6200  GT3e  128  1150  883.2 Professional HD Graphics P5700  GT2  24  192 –  1000  384 Iris Pro Graphics P6300  GT3e  48  384 128  1150  883.2==== Braswell ==== Model number  CPUmodel Tier  Executionunits Clock speed(MHz) HD Graphics 400  E8000  GT1  12  320 N30xx  320–600 N31xx  320–640 J3xxx  320–700 HD Graphics 405  N37xx  16  400–700 J37xx  18  400–740===Gen9 architecture======= Skylake====The Skylake line of processors, launched in August 2015, retires VGA support, while supporting multi-monitor setups of up to three monitors connected via HDMI 1.4, DisplayPort 1.2 or Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.3 interfaces.The following models of integrated GPU are available or announced for the Skylake processors: Model number  Tier  Execution  units Shading  units eDRAM  (MB) Boost clock  (MHz) Max  GFLOPS (FP32) Consumer HD Graphics 510  GT1  12  96 1050  201.6 HD Graphics 515  GT2  24  192 1000  384 HD Graphics 520  1050  403.2 HD Graphics 530  1150  441.6 Iris Graphics 540  GT3e  48  384 64  1050  806.4 Iris Graphics 550  1100  844.8 Iris Pro Graphics 580  GT4e  72  576 128  1000  1152 Professional HD Graphics P530  GT2  24  192 –  1150  441.6 Iris Pro Graphics P555  GT3e  48  384 128  1000  768 Iris Pro Graphics P580  GT4e  72  576 1000  1152==== Apollo Lake ====The Apollo Lake line of processors was launched in August 2016.Model number  CPUmodel Tier  ExecutionunitsShadingunits Clock speed(MHz) HD Graphics 500  E3930  GT1  12 96 400 – 550 E3940  400–600 N3350  200–650 N3450  200–700 J3355  250–700 J3455  250–750 HD Graphics 505  E3950  18 144 500–650 N4200  200–750 J4205  250–800===Gen9.5 architecture======= Kaby Lake ====The Kaby Lake line of processors was introduced in August 2016.New features: speed increases, support for 4K UHD "premium" (DRM encoded) streaming services, media engine with full hardware acceleration of 8- and 10-bit HEVC and VP9 decode.

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 using a virtual graphics driver; few supported graphics APIs (OpenGL, DirectX), no support for GPGPU* Full GPU virtualization (GVT-g): the GPU is shared by multiple virtual machines (and by the host machine) on a time-sharing basis using a native graphics driver; similar to AMD's MxGPU and Nvidia's vGPU, which are available only on professional line cards (Radeon Pro and Nvidia Quadro)* Full GPU virtualization in hardware (SR-IOV): The gpu can be partitioned and used/shared by multiple virtual machines and the host with support built-in hardware, unlike GVT-g that does this in software(driver).Gen9 (i.e. Graphics powering 6th through 9th generation Intel processors) is the last generation of the software-based vGPU solution GVT-G (Intel® Graphics Virtualization Technology –g).SR-IOV (Single Root IO Virtualization) is supported only on platforms with 11th Generation Intel® Core™ "G" Processors (products formerly known as Tiger Lake) or newer. This leaves Rocket Lake (11th Gen Intel Processors) without support for GVT-g and/or SR-IOV. This means Rocket Lake has no full virtualization support. Started from 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors, both desktop and laptop Intel CPUs have GVT-g and SR-IOV support.=== Multiple monitors ======= Ivy Bridge ====HD 2500 and HD 4000 GPUs in Ivy Bridge CPUs are advertised as supporting three active monitors, but this only works if two of the monitors are configured identically, which covers many but not all three-monitor configurations. The reason for this is that the chipsets only include two phase-locked loops (PLLs) for generating the pixel clocks timing the data being transferred to the displays.Therefore, three simultaneously active monitors can only be achieved when at least two of them share the same pixel clock, such as:* Using two or three DisplayPort connections, as they require only a single pixel clock for all connections. Passive adapters from DisplayPort to some other connector do not count as a DisplayPort connection, as they rely on the chipset being able to emit a non-DisplayPort signal through the DisplayPort connector. Active adapters that contain additional logic to convert the DisplayPort signal to some other format count as a DisplayPort connection. * Using two non-DisplayPort connections of the same connection type (for example, two HDMI connections) and the same clock frequency (like when connected to two identical monitors at the same resolution), so that a single unique pixel clock can be shared between both connections.Another possible three-monitor solution uses the Embedded DisplayPort on a mobile CPU (which does not use a chipset PLL at all) along with any two chipset outputs.==== Haswell ====ASRock Z87- and H87-based motherboards support three displays simultaneously. Asus H87-based motherboards are also advertised to support three independent monitors at once.

The classic Mesa i965 driver was removed in Mesa 22.0, although it would continue to see further maintenance as part of the Amber branch.New OpenCL driver is Mesa RustiCL and this driver written in new language Rust is OpenCL 3.0 conformant for Intel XE Graphics with Mesa 22.3.Intel Broadwell and higher will be also conformant to 3.0 with many 2.x features. For Intel Ivy Bridge and Haswell target is OpenCL 1.2.Actual development state is available in mesamatrix.NEO compute runtime driver supports openCL 3.0 with 1.2, 2.0 and 2.1 included for Broadwell and higher and Level Zero API 1.3 for Skylake and higher.All GVT virtualization methods are supported since the Broadwell processor family with KVM and Xen.
