Intel engineers have developed a protocol and matching Linux driver to allow fast data movement between computers over USB4 or Thunderbolt cables without any networking setup.
The upcoming Linux kernel version 7.1 will introduce restrictions on Intel Neural Processing Units (NPUs) to avoid exhaustion by individual programs. This change aims to manage resource usage more effectively. The update is reported by Phoronix, a site focused on Linux hardware and performance.

Following Linus Torvalds' recent announcement, Linux kernel 7.0 has been released on February 28, 2026, adding support for AMD Zen 6 processors and Intel Nova Lake alongside file system and graphics enhancements for improved efficiency.
The Linux kernel is removing the EDAC driver for the Intel 440BX chipset, which supports old Pentium CPUs. This driver has been non-functional for over 19 years. The change aims to clean up outdated code in the operating system.

Benchmarks on Intel's new Panther Lake processors show Ubuntu Linux outperforming Windows 11 in many compute-intensive tasks. The tests, conducted by Phoronix, highlight Linux's advantages in areas like compilation and memory performance. While Windows holds edges in some AI and application-specific workloads, the results underscore ongoing OS rivalry on modern hardware.
