@Alberto just a quick follow up from last meeting, you had suggested installing the official Intel driver to get the most out of this CPU.
I installed as per this kb https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia, everything seems OK (it shows up installed because I ran it again as an example, forgot to copy the output first time):
[root@what ~]# dnf install intel-media-driver Last metadata expiration check: 2:11:34 ago on Wed 15 Feb 2023 03:49:21 PM. Package intel-media-driver-21.1.3-1.el9.x86_64 is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!
Only thing I was wondering was how to verify that the OS is actually using the newly installed driver.
After reboot, the Gnome settings app is reporting "Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics (TGL GT2)", I'm not 100% sure but I think that's what it was displaying before the install as well.
In any case I'll keep using it and will report back if anything exciting happens. Thanks for the tip 🙂
