Intel's new feature can improve game loading times by up to 3x — Precompiled Shader Delivery comes to Arc Xe2 and Xe3 GPUs following DirectX SDK release

Following in Nvidia's footsteps, Intel has now officially adopted Microsoft's Advanced Shader Delivery to make shader compilation much faster in games. Intel is calling it Precompiled Shader Distribution and it's available on a bunch of Arc GPUs right away, supported in 11 games at launch, with more likely to follow. AMD is now the only company left who hasn't officially embraced this feature.
