On the Vulkan driver side with the Mesa ANV code are some very big improvements found with the latest Mesa 23.3-devel code.

Overall though Ubuntu 23.10 is a nice upgrade for those making use of Intel Arc Graphics and sticking to the kernel/Mesa default versions as shipped by Ubuntu. If you are more advantageous, upgrading to Linux 6.6 and Mesa 23.3-devel can mean some very nice performance wins across various OpenGL and Vulkan workloads.

More Intel Arc Graphics benchmarks from the Linux 6.6 + Mesa 23.3-devel stack on the way, including benchmarks of the new Arc Graphics A580 on Linux.
