Intel updates graphics drivers for kaby lake processors

Intel released the Kaby Lake-G processors at CES in January and then the new Intel Hades Canyon NUC (NUC8i7HVK) mini PC based on a Core i7-8809G processor with a 100W TDP and a Radeon RX Vega graphics core was unveiled. M GH with 1, 536 shaders. Until now, the drivers for these processors were based on the November code, but finally a new update has arrived.

Intel Kaby Lake-G processors already have a new controller for their Radeon Vega graphics

The new Intel controller is much more modern, it is based on the AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.6.1 controller. Therefore, this new controller will transition your Kaby Lake-G system from Crimson graphics controllers to Adrenalin. AMD has made quite a few driver changes during that time, so users of these Intel processors will benefit from various game optimizations and multiple bug fixes.

Intel is in charge of updating the graphics drivers for the Kaby Lake-G processors, although the company relies on it for the drivers created by AMD, which is logical, since the Vega graphics core that these processors integrate is designed by AMD, by so Intel lacks the information necessary to develop its own controller.

Intel's new Kaby Lake-G driver weighs 486.18MB and is only compatible with Windows 10 64-bit systems. These processors have been a revolution in designing very compact equipment, with a high level of performance both in the integrated graphics section and in the processor section.
