- Initial support for Xe3P graphics in Linux 6.19 kernel for Nova Lake processors.
- Xe3P_LPD introduces system cache usage for Frame Buffer Compression (FBC) to improve power efficiency.
- FBC can utilize a reserved 2MB system cache area to reduce memory power consumption, especially during idle.
- Patch series under review for integrating system cache for FBC in Intel's open-source kernel driver.
- Feature expected to be ready by Linux v7.0, missing the Linux 6.19 cycle.
