The lunar lake Xe (IE the generation before the current one) is not rock solid on linux - i can get it to crash the gpu consistently just by loading enough things that use GL. Not like 100, like 5.

If i start chrome and signal and something else, it often crashes the gpu after a few minutes.

I've tried latest kernel and firmware and mesa and ....

The GPU should not crash, period.

Same here. But the older version are rock solid, and have very low power draw for office/browsing, which is really nice.

I will say it's nice that the gpu crash only hangs the app i'm in and not like crashes the system as a lot of the other gpus. They do seem to have figured out how to properly isolate and recover their gpu.

But it also feels like that's because it crashed so much it was bothering their engineers, so they made the recovery robust.

I can reliably crash my GPU firmware/driver so that reboot is needed to fix, so not everything gets recovered/is recoverable (on Linux at least).
