Intel Enhances CMRR Support for Xe2 Lunar Lake Graphics in Linux 7.4

Intel is enhancing its Content Match Refresh Rate (CMRR) feature with the upcoming Linux 7.4 kernel, specifically benefiting Xe2 Lunar Lake graphics hardware. CMRR was initially introduced with Xe2 Lunar Lake as an advancement beyond standard Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Adaptive-Sync technologies. This improvement aims to "more precisely match the video or content frame rates," particularly during video playback. The objective is to eliminate stuttering and frame drops, thereby providing a smoother visual experience. Patches for this enhanced support are being integrated into the Intel graphics driver for Linux 7.4, continuing Intel's work on advanced display technologies.
