Intel XeSS receives some minor improvements — tech still lacks a native Frame Generation feature

Some headlining Intel XeSS games as of July 2024, from Intel's official page.

Two days ago, on July 18, Intel released version 1.3.1 of the Intel XeSS SDK onto GitHub. This latest version of the Intel XeSS SDK only lists "Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements" verbatim, so we won't get much meaningful information from analyzing the newest release by comparison. The XeSS SDK 1.3.0 release back on April 4 introduced new AI models, new Ultra and Native image quality presets, and increased resolution scale on every existing preset, as well.

Overall, Intel XeSS still looks relatively young compared to Nvidia's DLSS or AMD's FSR. While those solutions have both leveled up to offering Frame Generation alongside their image reconstruction functionality, Intel XeSS still provides no native Frame Generation capabilities. Instead, Intel XeSS users rely on games with Intel XeSS and AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation support, which can allow XeSS reconstruction with AMD's open-sourced, cross-platform Frame Generation solution.
