Intel launches full support for Vulkan API
http://www.pcgamer.com/intel-launches-full-support-for-vulkan-api/
Last month I took Kaby Lake for a spin and decided to see how the HD Graphics 630 would handle modern games. The result wasn't too surprising, with framerates struggling in many games, but at least the drivers worked… mostly.
I noted at the time that Doom Vulkan as well as a few DX12 games refused to cooperate with the HD 630. Intel informed me that they were working on a proper Vulkan driver, and that work has now come to fruition. As of the 15.45.14.4590 drivers, which support all Skylake and Kaby Lake processors, Intel has Vulkan support (1.0.33.0 API version).

>>I kind of feel dirty for putting Intel at the same level as of AMD&Nvidia when it comes to drivers.
