Opencl Driver

In early 2020, Intel removed the CPU Runtime for OpenCL Applications from its graphics driver installation package.

OpenCL.dll errors occur for several reasons, for example, the file may be corrupted, deleted, or not found on the computer.

PCMark 10 uses OpenCL in the Video Conferencing, Video Editing, Photo Editing and Spreadsheets tests. Without OpenCL support, your PCMark 10 score may be 20-25% lower than expected.

How to enable OpenCL support in Intel Graphics Drivers

OpenCL™ Driver for Iris™ graphics and Intel® HD Graphics for Windows. OS (64-bit and 32-bit) The standard Intel graphics drivers for Windows. include components needed to run OpenCL. and Intel® Media SDK applications on processors with Intel® Iris™ Graphics or Intel® HD Graphics on Windows. OS. On NVIDIA platform, OpenCL comes with the latest R195.39 or R195.62 WHQL. R195.39 is the first driver that offer a public OpenCL support. The OpenCL.dll that comes with R195.38 is actually the Khronos OpenCL interface and real OpenCL implementation is hidden in some nvcuda files.
