AMD Halts Driver Support for Kaby Lake-G GPUs (To Intels Frustration)

AMD has halted support for driver updates for their integrated graphics units that are paired with Kaby Lake-G processors. It seems this decision is made three months ago already, but there was still a low level of support.



Granted, I've always found this their weirdest hybrid combination ever. An AMD Vega iGPU paired with an Intel processor. Well, the support is now gone from the drivers, meaning AMD moved it to a legacy status. The drop of support was noticed by some users that cannot install the new WDDM 2.7 driver (20.5.1) on the Hades Canyon NUC's with both the Vega M GL and Vega M GH chip.

Adrenalin drivers note 'the gpu hardware in the detected configuration is not supported. Intel mentions "we are working to bring back support for the Radeon drivers for the Hades Canyon nuc." AMD however has not yet responded. It seems AMD is not eager to maintain a product that it has made with arch-rival who shortly after the release of this product bought out and added several AMD key members to the Intel GPU team.

Earlier in October Intel on their end sens out a product notification that this series was EOL.
