Haswell (HSW) codename for 4th generation Intel processor based on 22nm manufacturing technology and Gen 7.5 graphics architecture. Ivybridge (IVB) codename for 3rd generation Intel processor based on 22nm manufacturing technology and Gen 7 graphics architecture. If you see a warning during install please check with your OEM for supported drivers for your machine. Windows client note: Many OEMs have specialized drivers with additional validation. LEGACY ONLY, downloads available but not updatedġ5.40 (Broadwell/Skylake Media Server Studio 2017)

Driver Support Matrix Processor Architecture If issues are found it is easier to get fixes for newer branches. The most recent branch has the most resources and gets the most frequent updates. Older branches/architectures get successively fewer resources and updates. Intel recommends using the most recent branch. This means there are two driver branches for each architecture except the newest one. For Linux* and Windows Server*: Intel® Media Server Studio is an integrated software tools suite that includes both SDKs, plus a specific version of the driver validated with each release.ĭriver development uses branches covering specific hardware generations, as described in the table below. The general pattern is that each branch covers only the two latest architectures (N and N-1).To verify driver version installed on the machine, use the system analyzer tool. Use Intel® Driver Update Utility to keep your system up-to-date with latest graphics drivers or manually update from. Drivers are released separately and moving to the latest available driver is usually encouraged. These components are intended to be updated on a separate cadence than Media SDK/OpenCL installs. For Windows* Client: all components needed to run applications written with these SDKs are distributed with the Intel graphics driver.

There are two different packaging/delivery models: This article provides more information on how the software, driver, and hardware layers map together. Developers can access Intel's processor graphics GPU capabilities through the Intel® Media SDK and Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ Applications.
