Intel HD 4000 and Apples Graphic Cards Driver Update Policy


hi,

think, apple update graphic crads driver intel hd 4000 gpu?

ask because downgraded 10.10 yosemite 10.9.5 mavericks (had 4 cold or sudden restarts yosemite 10.10.3/4 installed, had never experienced under mac system , using mac os x since 2004).

background info: have macbook pro 13" (mid 2012), 2.9ghz, 16 gb ram, 512 gb, intel hd 4000 , work photographer/photojournalist. macbook pro handle raw pictures canon 5d mkiii fine. use adobe bridge cc , adobe camera raw lot.

in april adobe released adobe camera raw 9, uses gpu acceleration drawing in preview-window , zooming. basic gpu support. nevertheless makes working acr more smoother, let's say. if work 5-8 hours day on computer, welcome improvement.

acr 9.1 breaks gpu support adobe camera raw , lightroom (which same raw engine). adobe says please update driver. researched windows work again updating drivers intel hd 4000.

mac users can't that. , right cannot update latest system latest drivers, because system unstable. anyway, on latest mac os x yosemite drivers not work or old (tested on different macbook pro 13" intel hd 4000).

apple still selling macbook pro 13", should update drivers card. filled bug report apple. interested in opinion ...

how long apple keep non-retina macbook pro 13"? , if keep longer, update graphics card driver? or update drivers intel hd 4000 el capitan? wouldn't easier apple, if intel provide mac drivers?

lately testet latest macbook pro 13" retina - not faster in adobe bridge cc , acr 2012 macbook pro - gpu support works;) spend 2000 bugs ...
 

apple not famous updating gpu drivers. on old 2010 mbp in bootcamp install of graphic drivers disabled used on many notebooks. apple supply drivers deemed worthy. ever updated them bootcamp each time new osx version cam out 10.7 or 10.8. in mean time had hack updated drivers directly nvidia.

in osx apple ever updates gpu drivers on of 10.10.x updates. if there no more of pretty sure there aren't updates.

why doesn't intel it? historically osx insignificant intel spend lot of effort. compare how attention linux drivers used get. part of driver closer hardware comes intel, more complicated , error prone part before api layer comes apple. spent more , still put in more effort intel would. while intel hd 3000 drivers on osx faster windows ones. never held true nvidia/amd intel doing drivers wouldn't big win think.

think out of luck. might apple not supply necessary api support of slower older gpus. or adobe not enable gpu support on older gpus because of reasons.
might have more luck el capitan. metal drivers simpler , less @ fault. if adobe supports metal problem goes away , works. apple has write new metal drivers more metal drivers simpler , less cause problems. metal more adobe's responsibility not mess rather driver issue.
