  1. Anyone out there with a Lenovo ThinkStation P360 can let me know if it has ReBar support and if you can send me pictures of the Advanced -> CPU features uefi page?

    Yeah, docs say it has rebar support and point you to Nvidia stuff. My P340 also has rebar support, but it’s only if it detects an nvidia card. Almost like it’s a whitelist.

    I know about the uefi and bios chip hacks, but nothing stating it’s worked on a P340 or if it’s needed on a P360. I’ll probably try them anyway if I can’t find a solid answer.

    Please boost for visibility. I’d really like to avoid having to build a machine.

  3. RT @Bassmaster187: Ich habe mich doch entschlossen, die Intel Arc Pro B70 32GB zurückzugeben und für ein paar Euro mehr die AMD R9700 zu nehmen. An vielen Stellen ist die Intel abgestürzt und bei komplexen Kontexten extrem langsam geworden. Die R9700 ist teilweise bei der Prompt-Verarbeitung und Token-Generierung 10-mal schneller und vor allem scheint sie extrem stabil zu sein. Die speziellen HIP (ROCm)-Treiber scheinen nicht schneller zu sein als die Standard-Vulkan-Treiber, sodass ich sogar noch Hoffnung habe, dass sich das in Zukunft noch verbessert. Laut Logfiles habe ich letzten Monat etwa 150 € als Äquivalent zu Sonnet 4.6 gespart, sodass sich die Investition recht schnell auszahlt. Vielleicht werde ich unvernünftig und kaufe noch eine zweite... Bei Standard-Aufgaben geht Qwen3.6 35B mit Q5-Quantisierung teilweise schneller und besser als Sonnet 4.6. Schade, die Intel wäre echt cool gewesen, aber die Treiber und Software sind sehr schlecht.

  5. Bad time to be doing it, but I’m building a newish PC. I’m reusing my Nvmes and RAM but I have a ram choice. I have a 12th gen i7 I’m gonna build this out with.

    Better to use my:
    128GB of ddr4 3200
    Or my
    32GB of ddr5-4800?

    Long story is I really wanted an Arc B580 and my damn Lenovo ThinkCentre doesn’t support ReBar. I’m not buying an Nvidia RTX A2000 even though it’s officially in the supported hardware list for this workstation. It’s 2x the price of my Arc and since I run Linux, I’m not dealing with Nvidia on this machine.

  9. Intel Arc G-Series chips bring Panther Lake graphics to handhelds

    When Intel introduced its Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” mobile chips earlier this year, the company put a lot of emphasis on models with Intel Arc-branded integrated graphics with up to a 12 core iGPU that delivers the kind of performance you’d normally associate with an entry-level discrete GPU.

    So far most of the PCs to use that chip have been laptops or mini PCs. But now Intel is […]

  14. Has anyone with an intel arc gpu encountered this kind of stuttering when recording using the quicksync av1 with obs? Same result with SVT-AV1. Would love to know how you solved it.

    youtu.be/A2gS4KJWjHg

    EDIT: Just had a new driver release (32.0.101.8629) and that solved this issue!

    EDIT2: It seems like the AV1 encoding is fine, it's playback that's the issue! Before the new driver, viewing recordings in VLC had the exact stutter. However after the update, AV1 files with the stutter view perfectly fine! I still get this stutter in DaVinci resolve though. It seems like the AMD hardware decoder could be the issue? I solved it disabling the AMD decode, leaving the Intel Quick Sync as the only decoder. Davinci Resolve -> Preferences -> Decoding Options -> Disable AMD.

    Comment on this video (which us not shown on my Fedi instance, yay federation!)

    tube.kockatoo.org/w/63cGWTvhzq

    I cannot believe that that GPU is not usable for video work. That is what GPUs are made for!

    Poorly, there are a few caveats:
    - there are always more DEcoders supported than ENcoders. I guess not being able to play a video (it would play but be less efficiently decoded on the CPU) is worse than being bound to #h265 instead of #av1 for recording.
    - thus it makes sense that GPUs generally work flawlessly for gaming, as that is just displaying videos (or rendering content, which is kinda different, no idea why video codecs are more difficult than rendering methods)
    - for every video format out there exists an encoder. If you use software rendering (on the CPU), you can use ANYTHING. Like encode to modern (and free!) AV1 using #svtav1 on any old CPU.
    - if you want to encode videos on a GPU, you need drivers, but also a different encoder. On #NVIDIA you use #NVENC (NVidia ENCoder), for example nvenc_x265 for h265/HEVC videos. On #IntelArc (and afaik AMD GPUs), you use the #QSV (quick sync video) library which builds on top of #VAAPI, which is open source. So you can encode to AV1 using qsv_av1 for example.

    What encoders are supported depends on the GPU a lot. Intel Arc seems to have supported the free, efficient and future-proof AV1 codec the earliest, but also the older free codecs VP9 and VP8 (also used in webm), like in a GPU I recently bought used. My older NVIDIA GPU only supports H265, which is proprietary and often less efficient than AV1 (not always, video codecs are black magic).

    As OBS can use your GPU for video capture (encoding), the issue is purely in software support.

    I only have experience with #ffmpeg for re-encoding videos, but that is also in many video editing tools. Try if you can get them somehow.

    For NVIDIA I needed the latest proprietary drivers (#NixOS makes this extremely easy, can recommend) and ffmpeg, nvenc worked out of the box.

    For intel Arc I used the regular drivers included in the kernel, but after adding the QSV runtime to my "hardware.graphics.extraPackages" I needed to recompile the entire kernel. Using a #longterm kernel (currently 6.18) makes this more viable... longterm XD.

    #MicrosoftSurface #KDENlive #Shotcut #VideoEditing

  20. Any #Linux users on #IntelArc here?

    I bought an Intel Arc A750 and it looks fancy, works for gaming and AV1 encoding (after adding "vpl-gpu-rt" recompiling the kernel for that I guess), but I cannot control the fan at all!

    The fan mode is "automatic" and on full power all the time which is crazy loud.

    I tried everything, updated my kernel to 6.18 longterm, used a windows install to use that intel tool to upgrade the GPU firmware, no change.

    Now I plan on connecting the fan to the case fan connector and controlling it through BIOS (I can read temperature now so that is okay-ish I guess).

    I couldn't find a single report of this being a thing at all, do these GPUs really have THAT shitty drivers? I thought it was just performance issues (which I didnt really see).

  21. Was testing with and a couple of games getting it ready to sell when it crashes.

    Huh - power it back up and wont post. Stuff around with it for a bit. Suspect its not detecting the old gpu, put old gpu in the dock and now its not detecting it either.

  22. Meinasin että on vaivaton homma vaihtaa pöytäkoneissa näytönohjaimet keskenään (Intel ARC A380 ja Radeon RX 570 Nitro+): ykköskoneeseen #IntelARC, kakkoskoneeseen #Radeon, koska kakkoskoneella haluaa kokeilla kaikkea eikä ARCiin ole esim. BSD:ssä juuri tukea.

    Muuten hyvä, mutta #Debian kieltäytyi käynnistymästä ARCilla! Piti ensin vikasietotilassa asentaa `firmware-intel-graphics`-paketti, jota ei-vapaana ei tietysti oletusarvoisesti asennettu. #atkjuttuja #linux #floss

  23. #IntelArc asettaa todella ankaria rajoituksia sille, mitä vapaata järjestelmää kokeilukoneelle kannattaa yrittää. Kaikki #BSD:t #FreeBSD:tä myöten ovat joko kieltäytyneet pääsemästä graafiseen tilaan tai buutanneet itsensä yrittäessään; Linuxeistakin #GuixSystem'issä oli näytönpiirto-ongelmia ja lopulta #Kwin lakkasi käynnistymästä (eli työpöydälle pääsi mutta ikkunoilla ei ollut reunoja ja ne olivat vain kiinteä alue näytön vasemmassa yläkulmassa). #linux #floss #atkjuttuja

  24. #CachyOS on ihan ookoo, vaikkei ehkä minua varten: nopeus miellyttää, mutten siitä, että ulkoasu on valmiiksi räätälöity sähköisesti korttitaloksi, ettei sitä uskalla lähteä sorkkimaan itselleen sopivaksi,

    Nyt taas kokeiluun #FreeBSD, vaikka pelkään yrityksen päättyvän lyhyeen, ellei #IntelARC-näytönohjainta saa toimimaan sen #X11:ssä tai #Wayland'issä. #atkjuttuja #linux #bsd #floss

  25. Pitäisikö vaihtaa päikseen ykkös- ja kakkospöytäkoneen näytönohjaimet… Kakkoskone kävisi kokeiluihin paremmin, jos siinä olisi muu #näytönohjain kuin #IntelARC, jolle tuki on vajavaista jo #BSD:issäkin. #atkjuttuja #Linux #FLOSS

  26. I need more #JustJosh interviews like this.

  27. Intel Core Ultra Serii 3 oficjalnie. Panther Lake i proces 18A mają uratować honor „Niebieskich”

    Na ten moment czekali wszyscy inwestorzy i fani technologii. Intel podczas CES 2026 oficjalnie zaprezentował procesory Core Ultra Serii 3 (kryptonim Panther Lake).

    To pierwsze układy wyprodukowane w długo wyczekiwanym procesie technologicznym Intel 18A. Nowe czipy trafią do laptopów jeszcze w tym miesiącu.

    Pomóż nam rozwijać iMagazine – ruszyło badanie czytelnictwa 2026

    18A – być albo nie być dla Intela

    Najważniejszą informacją nie są tu same gigaherce, ale sposób produkcji. Kafelek obliczeniowy (Compute Tile) w nowych procesorach powstaje w litografii 18A. To technologia, która ma być „powrotem króla” i dowodem na to, że fabryki Intela są w stanie konkurować z tajwańskim TSMC. Sukces Panther Lake jest kluczowy nie tylko dla sprzedaży laptopów, ale dla całego planu biznesowego Intela (Intel Foundry), który chce produkować czipy dla zewnętrznych firm.

    Architektura: krok w tył, by zrobić dwa do przodu?

    Panther Lake to w pewnym sensie odwrót od filozofii znanej z poprzedniej serii (Lunar Lake / Core Ultra 200V). Tamte układy miały pamięć RAM wbudowaną w procesor (jak w Apple Silicon) i były produkowane głównie przez TSMC.

    W Serii 3 Intel wraca do korzeni, choć w nowoczesnym wydaniu. Mamy tu konstrukcję kafelkową (Foveros):

    • Compute Tile (CPU + NPU): produkcja Intel 18A (to tu dzieje się magia).
    • Platform Controller Tile (I/O): produkcja TSMC.
    • Graphics Tile (GPU): wersja mocna (12 rdzeni) – TSMC. Wersja słabsza (4 rdzenie) – starszy proces Intel 3.

     

     

    Serie „X” i podział na wydajność

    Intel wprowadza ciekawe rozróżnienie w nazewnictwie, które ma pomóc w doborze sprzętu:

    • Core Ultra X9 i X7: to układy dla ultramobilnych maszyn bez dedykowanej karty graficznej. Posiadają potężne, 12-rdzeniowe iGPU Intel Arc B390 oraz wsparcie dla superszybkiej pamięci LPDDR5x-9600. Mają jednak mniej linii PCIe (12), bo nie przewiduje się łączenia ich z zewnętrznym GPU.
    • Core Ultra 9 i 7: to układy pomyślane do laptopów gamingowych i stacji roboczych z dedykowaną grafiką (np. NVIDIA GeForce). Mają słabsze iGPU (4 rdzenie), ale za to aż 20 linii PCIe, by obsłużyć mocną kartę graficzną.

    Wydajność i bateria

    Intel składa odważne deklaracje: Panther Lake ma być do 60% szybszy w zadaniach wielowątkowych i do 77% szybszy w grafice niż poprzednik (Lunar Lake).

    Imponująco wygląda też efektywność energetyczna. Referencyjny laptop Lenovo z układem Core Ultra X9 388H pozwolił na 27 godzin streamowania Netflixa w 1080p. Oczywiście to warunki laboratoryjne, ale wynik robi wrażenie.

    W kwestii AI, zintegrowane NPU osiąga 50 TOPS. To wystarcza, by spełnić wymogi standardu Microsoft Copilot+ PC (40 TOPS), choć konkurencja ucieka nieco dalej (AMD Ryzen AI ma 60 TOPS, a nowe Snapdragony aż 80 TOPS).

    Pierwsze laptopy z Panther Lake trafią na półki sklepowe 27 stycznia.

    Masz nowego laptopa z Intel Core Ultra, a Zdjęcia Google w Chrome „tną”? Wiemy, jak to naprawić

  28. Schade. Auch der aktuelle Kernel hat noch Probleme, wenn man #Firefox mit #IntelArc nutzen möchte (#LunarLake). Am Anfang läuft alles OK, aber mit der Zeit reagiert alles immer langsamer. So weit, dass selbst Tastatur-Events nicht mehr erkannt werden. Keypress ohne Release, anyone? Alle paar Sekunden geht dann mal ein Block an Events wieder durch. Sobald man Firefox beendet oder minimiert ist wieder alles normal. Selbes System läuft mit Iris Xe ohne Murren.
