The third release candidate for Linux kernel 7.0 is out, following rc1 and rc2. It features major Intel and AMD x86 CPU changes, plus a fix for battery reporting on the Apple Magic Trackpad 2.
Building on its Core Ultra Series 3 (Panther Lake) processors unveiled at CES 2026, Intel has announced Core Series 3 chips codenamed Wildcat Lake for mainstream and value laptops. These mark the first non-Ultra Core CPUs to use the advanced Intel 18A manufacturing process, delivering major performance gains, AI improvements, and all-day battery life. Laptop makers including HP, Acer, Lenovo, Dell, and Samsung plan to integrate them throughout 2026.

Developers have released Linux kernel 7.0, featuring improvements for Intel and AMD hardware, enhanced storage handling, and the removal of the experimental label from Rust support. Linus Torvalds announced the update, which is not a long-term support version. The release includes preparations for upcoming CPUs and GPUs, alongside self-healing filesystem capabilities.
Phoronix has benchmarked the Arc B390 Xe3 graphics integrated into Intel's Panther Lake processors, finding strong performance on the open-source Intel Compute Runtime under Linux. The tests compare the new hardware against previous Intel generations and AMD's Ryzen AI competition using OpenCL and GPU compute workloads. Results highlight the graphics' out-of-the-box compatibility with Linux drivers, though some gaps remain compared to Windows.

The Linux kernel version 7.0 has dropped support for the EDAC driver associated with the 28-year-old Intel 440BX chipset. This change signifies another step in phasing out the once-legendary motherboard chipset. Despite the removal, the chipset's legacy persists in various systems.
Intel has released version 1.30 of its ISPC compiler, introducing support for AMX in the standard library. This update enhances capabilities for developers working with Intel hardware. The announcement comes from Phoronix, a key source for Linux and open-source hardware news.

New patches merged into Mesa 26.1 have reportedly improved performance on Intel's Alchemist graphics by up to 260% in specific gaming scenarios. Submitted by Intel engineer Francisco Jerez, these updates fix long-standing graphics corruption issues while enhancing efficiency. The changes primarily benefit Linux users with older Intel hardware.
