Intel has prepared two new graphics drivers for its customers with supported processors featuring integrated GPUs. After recently shipping a massive 1.2 GB driver update for its ARC dGPU, the company applied the same treatment to its regular drivers, making customers download drivers that "weigh" more than one gigabyte.
Customers with Intel CPUs who missed the previous driver update should note that Intel has split its graphics driver in two. One version is available for the latest 11th, 12th and 13th Gen processors, while another provides legacy software support for 6th-10th Gen CPUs.
