Phoronix reported today that Intel's open-source Linux graphics driver stack demonstrated significant performance improvements throughout 2025. The analysis focused on the evolution of OpenGL and Vulkan graphics performance for Intel Arc A-Series "Alchemist" and B-Series "Battlemage" GPUs. The report noted that the driver stack "evolved immensely" over the past year, with positive development not only for Vulkan but also for OpenGL support. This follows a previous Phoronix review last week that detailed the progress of Intel's GPU compute performance on Battlemage during 2025.
