Paul Alcorn over at Tom's Hardware had a very interesting story up today. The driver update for Kaby Lake G - something that has been in limbo for 14 months, is finally out but with a twist: it came not from Intel but from AMD. The partnership between the two companies for the Hades Canyon iGPU was revolutionary and unexpected, but when Intel started to pursue its own Xe ambitions - what little amicability there was between the two rivals quickly evaporated. Intel stopped issuing graphics updates for the Hades Canyon NUC in February 2019, and after 14 months, it seems users finally have a GPU driver to upgrade to - and it comes from AMD.

Intel's Kaby Lake G, the processor inside Intel's NUC 8 series (informally known as Hades Canyon) was quite a success as far as reception goes. Combining an Intel CPU with an AMD GPU (the RX Vega M), it went on to win awards and the partnership appeared to be successful; maybe too successful because just a few months later, Intel would go on to announce its own GPU ambitions and put the Kaby Lake G partnership with AMD beyond recovery. Kaby Lake G, as the child of this divorce, appears to have been neglected when Intel decided to focus entirely on its Xe side of things during February 2019.
