Title: To all Dell XPS 15 9575 and Kaby Lake-G owners: You're fine, Intel will continue to support the platform for another few years

Intel may be axing its AMD-powered chipset for good, but that doesn't mean it won't be stopping driver support for any existing Kaby Lake-G PCs already in the market. The blue chipmaker plans to support the platform for another few years even after all shipments have stopped.

Really? Intel has made one... ONE driver release for this entire year. Intel is clearly not supporting the Vega part of Kaby Lake G. This is even worse than AMD's non-support of their Ryzen APUs (that impudence thankfully ended - amusingly, around the same time Intel released their last driver for the Vega M).

Intel doesn't have to "drop support," they clearly have already "dropped support."

This.

Thankfully you can have disk, force install the drivers direct from AMD if you need too.

It would be better if they just passed it back to AMD and let them include direct support in their driver installer.
