Hopefully someone could add some light into this.

I'm planning a build with the intel i7 9700 9th generation and I swera I read somewhere that you need linux kernel 4.20 for intel 9th generation but I can't find it know.

Does anyone know and can confirm?

Thanks!

 

Just to use the i9-9700K as a CPU in a server running unRAID should not require any particular kernel version.  There seems to be some credible information that to utilize the iGPU in the 9th generation CPU will require the updated i915 drivers that supposedly are in Linux kernel 4.20.

Yeah, that's the exact reason I went with an 8th gen i3-8100 for my first unRAID build, which has now been upgraded to a i7-8700. Board and BIOS support the 9th gen processors, should I find the need to upgrade.

Are you saying you have iGPU passthrough working on your i7-8700?

8th gen (Coffee Lake) iGPU is fully supported. 9th Gen is not but should be when UnRAID moves to 6.8.x.

Yes, works perfectly in Handbrake and Plex. Just added the command to load the right kernel module in the go script and that was it.

 

 

Is this including passthrough to VMs? I haven't been able to get it to work. I thought 8th gen was limited to kernel 4.20 also.
