Intel drivers are part of the kernel, and I imagine Intel's attempt to put telemetry in them would be shut down fairly quickly by Linus Torvalds.

- cccbbbaaa 3y agoGraphics drivers, at least on unices, come in two parts: one in the kernel, another one in the userspace. The latter provides interfaces such as Vulkan. That said, ANV (Intel's driver) is part of mesa, and not bespoke like nvidia's. But that's a moot point: this telemetry component is not a part of the actual driver, but another separate program in the package.
