Linux Support for Intel Diamond Rapids

The Linux kernel is preparing to support the upcoming Intel Xeon Diamond Rapids processors, successors to the Granite Rapids line. Much of the driver integration work appears to have been completed, with only a few elements still being finalized.

NTB Driver for Diamond Rapids

One of the new additions expected for the Linux 7.0 kernel is support for NTB (Non-Transparent Bridge) drivers specifically designed for Diamond Rapids processors. This update indicates a further step forward in fully enabling the capabilities of these new processors within the Linux ecosystem.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
