Intel Panther Lake & Diamond Rapids Model IDs Added For Linux 6.12

([Intel] 6 Hours Ago Panther Lake + Diamond Rapids)


Submitted today as the "x86 fixes" for the Linux kernel ahead of the Linux 6.12-rc1 release this evening is adding two new Intel CPU model numbers.

With the Intel Granite Rapids and Sierra/Clearwater Forest enablement cleared along with Intel Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake, the open-source software engineers at the company are beginning to bring-up next-generation Panther Lake cores and Diamond Rapids as the next-gen Xeon P-core processors.

The patch submitted for mainlining today is just adding the new 0xCC model ID for Panther Lake L and then the Family 19 Model 1 identification for Diamond Rapids with its Panther Cove X cores. As I wrote about a few days ago, Diamond Rapids is the generation where [1]Intel Family 6 is ending and being succeeded by Family 19 .

Expect more Intel Panther Lake and Diamond Rapids enablement code to be posted soon. On the [2]Panther Lake side there's already been some work like enabling audio support and other bits but the more exciting pieces to come later.

[3]This pull of x86 fixes for Linux 6.12 is what has the model numbers now in place for identification.

phoronix

"The stars are made of the same atoms as the earth." I usually pick one small
topic like this to give a lecture on. Poets say science takes away from the
beauty of the stars -- mere gobs of gas atoms. Nothing is "mere." I too can
see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
The vastness of the heavens stretches my imagination -- stuck on this carousel
my little eye can catch one-million-year-old light. A vast pattern -- of which
I am a part -- perhaps my stuff was belched from some forgotten star, as one
is belching there. Or see them with the greater eye of Palomar, rushing all
apart from some common starting point when they were perhaps all together.
What is the pattern, or the meaning, or the *why?* It does not do harm to the
mystery to know a little about it. For far more marvelous is the truth than
any artists of the past imagined! Why do the poets of the present not speak
of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were like a man, but
if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?
-- Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988)
