🚀 Release: v2026.05.0014

🆕 What's New

Intel Platform Scanner 7.1 (Database Generation)

The scanner script (Intel-Platform-Scanner.ps1) has been significantly improved to produce a cleaner, more accurate intel-chipset-infs-latest.md database:

• Fixed ArrowLake generation – now correctly shows 15th Gen Core/Core Ultra 200 (was 14th Gen)
• Added missing generic platforms – ArrowLake, RaptorLake, AlderLake, TigerLake, CometLake, IceLake, Lakefield, CoffeeLake, KabyLake, Skylake, Crystalwell now have proper Order values and appear in correct chronological order
• PCH Family sorting – all PCH entries (including LynxPoint, PantherPoint, CougarPoint, Wellsburg, Patsburg, Lewisburg, Emmitsburg, etc.) now follow a consistent newest-to-oldest order
• MeteorLake PCH moved – MeteorLake PCH-N/H/S relocated from CLIENT - Core to PCH Family (correct logical category)
• DmaSec extensions – six *_Extension-Dmasec entries moved to PCH Family with proper generation descriptions
• IceLakeX reclassified – moved from XEON / SERVER to WORKSTATION / HEDT
• Legend cleanup – platforms without dedicated INF files (e.g., Emerald Rapids, Ice Lake-SP, Cascade Lake-X) now have a * and an explanatory note in the footer
• New notes in MD footer:
  • Wildcat Lake shares HWIDs with Panther Lake
  • Panther Lake H/U are merged into a single entry (same INF)
  • 16th generation (Lunar Lake) is classified under ATOM / LOW POWER
  • Platforms marked with * have no dedicated INF (handled by adjacent INF or inbox drivers)
• Fixed duplicate type suffix – Generation field no longer ends with redundant - Desktop/Mobile

Universal Intel Chipset Device Updater (Display Improvements)

The console output in [SCREEN 2/4] is now much cleaner and more readable:

• Grouped HWID display – instead of one line per device, platforms are shown with their HWID list (e.g., - IvyTown (HWID: 0E02, 0E04, 0E08))
• Compact platform information – each platform uses only 3 lines:
  • Platform name (white)
  • Generation text (gray) – without the word Generation: (prevents long names from wrapping)
  • Latest Intel Chipset INF Utility (gray)
  • Detected → Latest → Status (colored: green/yellow/magenta)
• Parsing hint – Parsing INF information - it may take up to 30 seconds! (replaces the old ambiguous ...)
• Simplified header banner – removed redundant separator lines and the Visit: row; author line now includes GitHub link
• Better Windows Inbox handling – inbox platforms are shown in a compact grouped list, not interleaved with regular updates
• Extra blank lines removed – no more double empty lines before the platform information section
