Linux 7.4 To Improve Apple Silicon Audio Support & Its "Impossible" Power Management
Linux 7.4 内核将利用最新的共享 GPIO 基础设施来改善 Apple Silicon 音频支持。此举旨在清理主线内核中的相关代码,并采用比当前下游 Asahi Linux 代码更清晰的架构。该更新允许多个驱动程序或内核组件优雅地共享相同的 GPIO 线路。
EVENT DOSSIER
The release of Linux 7.4 kernel will significantly improve audio support for Apple Silicon processors, a feature that was absent due to hardware compatibility limitations for a long time. Additionally, this update includes key fixes to the power management mechanism for Apple Silicon, solving the power consumption control issues that were referred to by the community as “impossible,” thereby effectively enhancing device battery life and system stability.
