Hi,

The last driver for the HD 4000 in windows 7/8/8.1 was released on 6-5-2015. is there any ETA of when the next driver will be released for the HD 4000 cpus running on windows 7/8/8.1?

Thanks,

P.S and yes I was told by kevin_intel that there is a driver but theres no ETA yet a month ago. since an ample amount of time has passed I believe theres an ETA for the next driver.

Hi Martin,

The typical release cadence for drivers is one per quarter for currently supported products. These cadence releases occur when fixes or new features are available and the driver has been fully validated and is ready for release. We won't release a driver just to meet a cadence target, it must add value. Additional ad-hoc releases may occur to address safety or mission critical issues/concerns or new product launches. Conversely, if critical fixes are on the verge of completing, they may push out a cadence release so we can get it into the release and mitigate confusion by releasing multiple drivers in a short period of time. Hopefully that helps you understand the working process behind driver release timing.

Yes.i understood your point.Thank you for your assistance.i really do hope you are giving equal importance to both generations of cpus(meaning 4000 and above 4000);support wise and driver wise.

Thanks,
