Is it just me who is sceptical about anything new from Intel at the moment?
Mind you, this is not the first time that this feeling has existed, there was a standing joke amongst IT professionals in the mid 1990s that the sticker “Intel Inside” was actually a warning label, referencing the Pentium FDIV bug.

after years of really crappy GPUs, intel finally started making decent ones. It’s probably too late to save intel though…

Will it also include the ever popular self-immolation microcode?
It’s wise to wait and see, given their recent history.

Intel comes limping back, hoping that everyone forgets that most recent time they screwed everyone over.

If legit, this could be pretty huge for handheld Windows gaming PCs.
There’s a big problem with using a Windows handheld, though. Windows.
Luckilly, you can install Linux on them, though.

Running Steam in Big Picture mode on boot basically turns it into a more compatible/faster Steam Deck. I’d be more interested in installing Linux on it (being a Linux guy myself) if it wasn’t for losing out on things like frame generation that you get from the Windows graphics drivers.
I’ve only tried framegen in one game (The Last of Us remake) and it worked fine. I also have an AMD GPU if that matters.
I think with Nvidia drivers you can get DLSS working and probably framegen too, but I wouldn’t know how to set that up. Nvidia compiles both the Linux and Windows drivers using the same codebase.
Also wym by faster? Linux has less overhead than Windows does, even when using Proton, and many games perform better on Linux because of that.
EDIT: There’re also a couple of mods available that let you replace DLSS framegen with FSR 3.1 framegen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnXW8CzKYBw
