My experience is admittedly second-hand, but it seems this time around Intel realized they need halfway decent drivers to be competitive, so they have been making a lot of improvements in that area. They've rapidly improved driver compatibility with a lot of games, such that this new GPU of theirs is actually worth a consideration, unlike the previous generation which felt a little more of a proof-of-concept product.

IPEX is decent enough on Linux, as in "just works". Remains to be seen whether Battlemage will have day one support, though.

LTT and "proper review" don't really go together anymore.

Gamer's Nexus, Der8auer, Wendel from Level1Techs, Hardware Unboxed are where the "proper reviews" are these days.

What's left of LTT is a morally bankrupt entertainment channel who sometimes reviews PC hardware between reviewing sponsored products, AliEpress junk and upgrading his house or the setups of their employees for clout and monetization.

This article already has detailed review, what details do you think are missing?
