The GMA 900 is a graphics processing unit (GPU) developed by Intel, released in 2004. It is an integrated GPU, meaning it is built into the motherboard or CPU, rather than being a separate, discrete component. The GMA 900 is designed to provide high-quality graphics, video playback, and gaming performance for mainstream users.
For open-source enthusiasts, the GMA 900 remains a notable piece of hardware because of its relatively strong support in the Linux kernel through the intelfb and i915 drivers. This allowed older machines to stay relevant far longer than their Windows counterparts, which eventually lost driver support after Windows 7. Historical Impact gma900
