Oktoberfest Has Come For ATI Linux

Posted by Michael Larabel on September 05, 2007

Well, by now you've probably seen our articles today -- AMD 8.41 Display Driver Preview, ATI R300/400 Linux Performance, ATI R500 Linux Performance, ATI Radeon HD 2900XT On Linux, and AMD: Accelerating Open-Source Drivers? -- but the fun is certainly not over. In the coming hours and days we will be delivering additional articles that talk about AMD/ATI's latest efforts in the Linux arena. These articles include Radeon HD 2400 and HD 2600 performance metrics, a Linux versus Windows performance comparison with the new driver, and other articles sought after by the community. There has also been some talk on the Internet about ATI specifications being released at the Linux Kernel Summit, and once our embargo expires (or we're otherwise permitted to talk about it) we will be covering what's up with ATI's open-source side as well. In the meantime be sure to take part in one of our active discussions taking place in the Phoronix Forums. If you have any questions about the new driver don't be afraid to ask.
