Valve Developed an Open-Source Intel Vulkan GPU Driver For Linux

An anonymous reader writes For those wondering when the first graphics driver for the new Khronos Vulkan API will materialize and for what hardware, it looks like the first driver could very well be for Intel graphics and it might not be too far away. It turns out Valve developed an Intel Linux Vulkan driver to help ISVs bootstrap their new Vulkan code, with Valve planning to open-source this driver code. This is yet another reason to love Valve, especially as Intel graphics on Linux don't even support OpenGL 4 yet.

Khronos is also a Greek deity representing time. Since Vulcan is also from mythology (although it is a Roman name instead of Greek), it doesn't mean that it's influenced by Trek.
