Intel announced yesterday that new graphics drivers for the 6th to 10th generation Intel CPUs will only be provided in the event of critical errors or security gaps. Intel is calling it a move to the legacy software support model.
“Software updates for these products are released on a quarterly basis or with software releases as needed.” This affects the following CPUs: Skylake, Apollo Lake, Kaby Lake, Amber Lake, Coffee Lake, Whiskey Lake, Comet Lake, Gemini Lake, Ice Lake, Lakefield, Jasper Lake, Elkhart Lake.
- 10th Gen Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Plus Graphics (codenamed Ice Lake)
- 10th Gen Intel Core processors with Intel UHD Graphics (codenamed Comet Lake)
- 9th Gen Intel Core processors, related Pentium/Celeron processors and Intel Xeon processors, with Intel UHD Graphics 630 (codename Coffee Lake-R)
- 8th Gen Intel Core processors, related Pentium/Celeron processors and Intel Xeon processors, with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 and – – Intel UHD Graphics 610, 620, 630, P630 (codenamed Kaby Lake-R, Coffee Lake)
- Intel Pentium and Celeron processor family (codenamed Gemini Lake)
- 7th Gen Intel Core processors, related Pentium/Celeron processors and Intel Xeon processors, with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640, 650 and Intel HD Graphics 610, 615, 620, 630, P630 (codenamed Kaby Lake)
- 6th Generation Intel Core, Intel Core M and related Pentium processors with Intel Iris Graphics 540, Intel Iris Graphics 550, Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580 and Intel HD Graphics 510, 515, 520, 530 (codenamed Skylake)
