Intel releases 2,468 pages of technical details on their latest-generation graphics

Authored by: Chromatix on Saturday, June 23 2012 @ 11:22 PM EDT

Nvidia has released details only for the basic 2D framebuffer setup. Everything

else has to be reverse engineered.
<p>
AMD/ATI has a more comprehensive documentation publication policy, which I
think is qualitatively comparable to what Intel has released. Intel seems to
engage more thoroughly with the FOSS community though, as the FOSS drivers
are primary for Intel, while AMD uses closed-source drivers as primary support.

nVidia gives almost nothing. This looks pretty complete, and is fairly standard
for Intel. AMD/ATI gives quite a bit more than nVidia, but not
everything.

Intel isn't going to be giving the graphics interfaces on their
smartphone platform or Atom, as that's owned by Imagination Technologies.
