In the past few years, chip manufacturers represented by AMD, Intel and NVIDIA often found clues in the Linux kernel code a few years before the official launch of new products The latest news is that Phoronix has just seen the Raptor Lake CPU that replaces the 13th generation Raptor Lake processor in the work of the coreboot code

Wccftech pointed out that Intel's 14th generation core processors will adopt Intel 4 process and transition to a stacked and tiled architecture.
In the latest coreboot patch for Linux brought by Intel engineers, we saw the shadow of meteor Lake CPU.
Coreboot was once called linuxbios. This application project aims to replace the proprietary firmware (UEFI BIOS) in most computer systems with 'lightweight firmware'.
The firmware was developed for the minimum tasks necessary to load and process on modern 32 / 64 bit operating systems.
Earlier this week, the Intel coreboot open source firmware project was incorporated into the original meteor Lake SOC support code.
In fact, as early as last year, we have seen several patches of "meteor Lake" have changed. In particular, the current linux driver needs a new ID to support generation 14 core.
The firmware support package (FSP) updated this time brings some supplements to the existing meteor Lake support in Linux.
Some open source developers who did not cooperate with the company previously proposed that Intel open source the software by modifying the FSP (or allow other forms of changes) to obtain more open compatibility and functions.
So far, the chip giant has not responded to the needs of other developers, but we will continue to pay attention to the future development of this story.
