Noting that Haswell has been out for three years and FreeBSD is just now getting alpha support for its on die graphics (cool :)... what are the prospects for SkyLake, whether 2d / 3d, and in what possible timeframes? How far do the recent imports / porting from Linux and any new native FreeBSD code that were used to support Haswell translate towards SkyLake? What is Linux's current status on SkyLake? How are SkyLake's supposed firmware blobs expected to be handled within FreeBSD? Is Intel's documentation sufficient? Is the FreeBSD Foundation or any other entity in a position or mind to assist with supporting what seems like may be a potentially popular workstation type of graphics hardware? Any other relavant questions to ask / answer?
