With Intel [1]Panther Lake now shipping, open-source Intel engineers working on the client side are turning to tidying up support for their next target: [2]Wildcat Lake . That more cost effective alternative to Panther Lake now has Intel Thermal Daemon support in getting ready for Linux desktops/laptops.

Intel Thermal Daemon 2.5.11 was released on Wednesday with the main feature being Wildcat Lake support. The Wildcat Lake support comes down to just [3]adding the 0xd5 model and [4]new sysfs path checks . Aside from that it's building off the existing Panther Lake support.

Intel Thermal Daemon 2.5.11 also brings some code fixes as a result of running clang-tidy on the codebase. Plus there is a CVE issue addressed around symbolic link exploits. Lastly are some D-Bus interface fixes.

Those using the Intel Thermal Daemon for modern Intel desktop/mobile Core (Ultra) CPUs on Linux can grab the new release if interested from [5]GitHub .
