So does Intel also include their compute features in the mainline drivers, unlike AMD? That'd be something to push me towards them when GPUs become available a

  Intel's compute features are in a separate open source package called Intel Graphics Compute Runtime.[1] Integrated graphics from 2014 (Broadwell) and later are supported. Support for discrete graphics (2020 onward) is in development.[2] AMD provides an open source OpenCL solution for Linux called ROCm, but the project is too limited to be helpful in many use cases. ROCm supports a total of 6 GPU models, all from previous generations,[3] and does not support GUI-based software applications such as Blender.[4] [1] https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime [2] https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/issues/469#issuecomment-964924940 https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/issues/469#issuecom...
