Intel has published its latest WHQL-certified graphics driver, version 32.0.101.8425/32.0.101.8362, for Arc and Core products, featuring new hardware support and tech. This update is available for Alchemist and Battlemage GPUs, as well as Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, Arrow Lake-S, Arrow Lake-H, and the company’s new Panther Lake chips.
This driver debuts Intel’s multi-frame generation (MFG) technology as part of the XeSS 3 upscaling suite, generating up to three extra frames after each genuinely-rendered one. The idea is to further boost the perceived smoothness with little performance cost, helping Arc graphics users take advantage of the higher refresh rates of modern monitors.
The technology was first unveiled back in October 2025 during a dedicated presentation, but now users can test it for themselves. Intel said that MFG implementation took a bit of time to develop, as now the technology uses only one pass of optical flow calculations to create all three AI-generated frames, which increases performance.
However, unlike Nvidia’s DLSS MFG, which relies on hardware Flip Metering on RTX 50 Series to ensure an even frame delivery over time, Intel went with a software system. It generally worked well in our Panther Lake GPU benchmarks at CES, but we did also spot some strange artifacts when using MFG in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Intel’s Tom Petersen admitted that Intel still had “work to do” when we showed him the footage.
MFG aside, this driver also adds support for Intel’s latest Core Ultra Series 3 Panther Lake processors, specifically its Arc B390 and Arc B370 Xe3 iGPUs.
In terms of bug fixes, this update doesn’t change much, apart from solving some crashes while launching the Pragmata Sketchbook demo, and correcting Variable Refresh Rate value reporting in the graphics software.
Intel is also aware of bugs in Ghost of Tsushima, The Finals, No Man’s Sky, Star Citizen, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, and Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which it says should be fixed in a future driver release. The driver is available through Intel’s website (1.4GB).
