This is a rare sight to be seen for any technology. Developers are constantly tweaking and tuning support for future products, long before they know what the hell is. After all, the integrations and stability guarantees the working environment, so that new products fail. It just happened that it took place this time.
Intels plans to build and deploy CPUs from the present.
The driver that accidentally got released was Intel NUC Kit 11th Gen. 30.0.101.9999. That driver will probably be used with the Intels DG3 GPUs which have now been confirmed to be called Elasti. It’ll also support integrated GPUs that will be used by future CPU architectures. This is a very interesting news because it indicates that many of these CPUs and GPUs will be real-world products due to the expected market expansion. (Deep Image Credit: Intel). The CPUs that the driver refers to are Raptor Lake, Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake. These are unreleased architectures due out in the coming years. The driver isn’t available for download. This page was replaced with a driver download for the NUC Kits Intel, NUC11PHx, NUC11PAx, and NUC11TNx. The driver also mentions Intels ARC GPUs, which will be released in Q1 2022. It’s not surprising Intel took it down. Even though there was limited time, this gave us some useful information. Intels driver leak that indicates support until 2025 is the source of that leak. Not only does it confirm the rumored lineup of GPU and CPUs are in development, but also in progress. It’s a sneak peek into what might be expected from Intel in the coming years.
