Ugh, you know it really wouldn’t be so bad if they would just go back to selling cpus like they're meant to be kept around for more than a year. The thing that has me really ticked off at Intel right now is the i915 sriov capabilities introduced in 11th gen which were meant to supersede GVT-G. I didn’t even know GVT-G was a thing until it was already gone. They didn’t even make a driver that supports 11th gen and 12th is apparently supported in some capacity but I’m not understanding it very well myself. I damn sure wouldn’t buy a 12th gen though if its a thing you think you might actually care about. If 11th gen is any example of how 12th will turn out, any development will be left up to one person who miraculously understands i915 well enough to develop for it, doing for free and doing a good job but not well enough to keep up with linus/linux~HEAD; needless to say if 11th gen support for i915 sriov does ever get merged the cheap low quality construction of the hardware will probably be starting to break down, seems like most of it is by the time you unbox it anyway these days :(

There’s actually 2, theres the intel lts one, which i guess they did do something it just never amounted to anything, explained here:
