  • 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.
