Hey, so, here’s the thing. Intel, yeah, they just kind of, well, let go of their Deep Link tech. Poof, no more updates. Wild, right?
So, an Intel guy, not officially like with a big banner or anything, just casually on GitHub. His name was Zack-Intel. Funny how person’s handle sticks, right? Anyway, someone named SapphireDrew or whatever was trying to get Deep Link to play nice with OBS Studio — that’s a streaming thing if you didn’t know. But it went kaput. OBS said, “Not our problem, dude.” Then Zack steps in and drops the news. Deep Link’s taking a permanent nap. Just great, huh?
This is kind of a raw deal for anyone who jumped on that Arc Alchemist bandwagon. Intel pretty much dangled this juicy carrot, saying you’d get all these rad performance boosts with their 11th-gen gear and graphics cards. And then, whoosh, the rug’s pulled out. Only found this out a month after the trouble was flagged. Talk about a slow clap moment.
And for those deep into the tech rabbit hole, Deep Link was all about making the CPU and GPU best buds. Dynamic Power Share, Hyper Encode, some AI magic… It was like a tech buffet! Except, oops, now it’s like a stale sandwich. A stale Intel-only sandwich, mind you. AMD or NVIDIA users? Sorry, your invite got lost in the mail.
So, it’s still there, I guess, just not as shiny. Maybe it’ll still work, kind of like how your microwave barely spins but still nukes your coffee. But any bugs now? You’re on your own, buddy.
Source? Caught it from Videocardz, just doing their thing.
