Intel Releases 5,000 Pages of Open-Source Haswell Documentation

Posted by samzenpus on from the pages-for-the-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Intel has ended out 2013 by publishing 5,000 pages of new GPU documentation about their latest generation 'Haswell' graphics hardware. The new documentation complements their longstanding open-source Linux graphics driver that has supported Haswell HD / Iris Graphics since last year. The new documentation covers the hardware registers and special information for 3D, video acceleration, performance counters, and GPGPU programming."

    The fact that intel is about half a decade or more behind nvidia in GPU tech, and nvidia revealing its internals to this extent would allow competition to catch up much faster than it otherwise would.

    So intel gfx hardware has, and always will be garbage.

    Want to cripple a good machine? use Intel for the gfx.
