The Intel Xe Linux driver is set to restore D3cold power state support for most Battlemage GPUs with the upcoming Linux 7.0 kernel cycle. This change loosens a restriction that was implemented approximately a year ago, which had disabled D3cold across all Battlemage GPUs within the Linux kernel's Xe graphics driver. The initial disablement was a measure taken due to observed instability issues during the transition from the D3cold power state to the D0 operational state. Phoronix reports that the restoration will apply to Battlemage GPUs "aside from a specific NUC," indicating a targeted approach to re-enabling the power management feature.
