Apple M1 PCIe Driver Under Review For The Linux Kernel

While Linux 5.12 saw initial support merged for the Apple M1 , it was quite the basic support with more robust support still to come. Besides the graphics support being a large work-in-progress, one of the areas now coming about is the new PCI Express driver that is necessary for supporting more functionality of this driver.

This Apple PCIe driver created by the open-source community -- including Correlium and Asahi Linux -- is for the M1 right now while presumably will be applicable to

Intel Preps 3nm GPU, Server Chips: Rumor

(Image credit: Intel)

Earlier this year Intel formally confirmed that some of its 2023 CPUs would be made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. using an unspecified manufacturing technology. Fresh rumors from Taiwan indicate that Intel is prepping four products that will be made using TSMC's N3 (3nm) node and the line-up looks rather curious (and perhaps unrealistic). Furthermore, production could start considerably earlier than expected, a very unlikely turn of events. As this is a rumor, it

Intel has reportedly secured the majority of TSMC's 3nm production capacity

Rumor mill: Intel has reportedly secured the majority of TSMC's 3nm process node capacity for next year and is said to be using the technology to create three new CPUs and a GPU. If true, such a move would put pressure on rivals AMD and Apple, who rely on the semiconductor giant for their chips.

According to Chinese publication UDN , production using the 3nm node is expected to start in the second quarter of next year, with mass production set to begin in the middle of 202
