Coffee Lake support

[vmbuilder00x0]

Hi,

Can you clarify if Coffee Lake processors are supported and if it is, which kernel version already have it upstream (ubuntu), or do we need to compile one ourselves if we're using one of 4.13.x.

Thanks and regards!

[TerrenceXu]

No, we are not support Coffee Lake processors, thanks. ☺ Thanks Terrence From: vmbuilder00x0 [mailto:notifications@github.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2018 11:35 AM To: intel/gvt-linux <gvt-linux@noreply.github.com> Cc: Subscribed <subscribed@noreply.github.com> Subject: [intel/gvt-linux] Coffee Lake support (#14) Hi, Can you clarify if Coffee Lake processors are supported and if it is, which kernel version already have it upstream (ubuntu), or do we need to compile one ourselves if we're using one of 4.13.x.

@TerrenceXu Hello! Are there any plans to support Coffee Lake or even Cannon Lake in the foreseeable future? I am building a PC now, so it would be great to know if I should stop on KBL or there is some hope. Thanks!

[TerrenceXu]

Hello, now we only support Skylake and Kabylake, and next plan is support Icelake but not Coffee Lake or Cannon Lake. ☺ From: Unb9rn [mailto:notifications@github.com] Sent: Saturday, March 3, 2018 7:03 PM To: intel/gvt-linux <gvt-linux@noreply.github.com> Cc: Xu, Terrence <terrence.xu@intel.com>; Comment <comment@noreply.github.com> Subject: Re: [intel/gvt-linux] Coffee Lake support (#14) Hello!

In relation to microarchitecture support, are there plans to support Kaby Lake R? Everything I've seen seems to indicate that this is largely compatible with Kaby Lake in terms of feature set. Would extending the driver to support the R series graphics be a considerable amount of work?

[TerrenceXu]

Yes, the R is also working. ☺ From: Wynter Woods [mailto:notifications@github.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2018 7:51 AM To: intel/gvt-linux <gvt-linux@noreply.github.com> Cc: Xu, Terrence <terrence.xu@intel.com>; Mention <mention@noreply.github.com> Subject: Re: [intel/gvt-linux] Coffee Lake support (#14) In relation to microarchitecture support, are there plans to support Kaby Lake R?

Could you please also confirm support for i9 Skylake-X 7900x series?
Thank you

Edit: Nevermind, they don't have integrated graphics

[TerrenceXu]

@chp-io, yes, we support all Skylake platforms.

[Enverex]

Can I ask why? It seems weird to have a hole in support. Old processors aren't supported (which is fair enough), old-ish processors are supported, current processors aren't supported, but future processors will be supported? Missing the current generation seems like a strange choice.

Hello,

With the upcoming Coffee Lake chips releasing soon, I wanted to inquire about this further.
Are Coffee Lake chips missing key functionality necessary for GVT-g support or could they be made to work through proper software configuration of the hardware?

Would anyone investing in Coffee Lake be entirely out of luck or is this just a matter of someone adding the support for enumerating the newer chips? The GPUs look to be mostly the same series across Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake families.

Until now we have no plan on investigate Coffee Lake.

[CuriousTommy]

Until now we have no plan on investigating Coffee Lake.

I hope that this "investigation" leads to GVT support for Coffee Lake. I am planning to buy an i9-9900k processor for a future build. I would love to mess around with this very interesting feature on that hardware.
