No, it's this: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P [Iris Xe Graphics] The box is a 16-thread i5 with 32GB. I notice though that the core temp is steady at 60C, so it looks as though it's running back-to-back NOPs, because any real load would have it near 90C and the fan running hard. Oh, and a reboot makes no difference. Perhaps I should start recompiling things... V-- Regards, Peter.
