Oh yeah !
AMD AMD AMD !!!HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH !!!
Sorry....couldn't resist
Kaveri-based (or even Richland-based) SteamBoxes at SteamBox launch with interesting prices and performance might be a reality !
Now Michael....time to check out if the AMD blob got improved by Kernel 3.12 like OSS driverLast edited by AJSB; 16 October 2013, 01:05 PM.

That would be great.
Commitment to support new kernels from git:HEAD would be even greater. Is that this big news for Linux users some AMD employe hinted at?
(Will that mean faster X.org support too?)

PS
Can anyone test new X.org releases if they are supported too?

WoW! Just WoW!
Both AMD and Nvidia DO show first tier support for Linux in binary drivers. (Ofc. AMD did have first tier + for the radeon driver for some long time now)
Edit: (And Intel also have good i9xx support!)
Valve did delivered 2 miracles now! Nvidia releasing some doc, and now AMD supporting newest&greatest kernel. Good to be Linux user now.

Yea, what's up with all the graphics companies all of a sudden.
The NVIDIA driver already supports 3.11?

AMD Catalyst Beats NVIDIA To Linux 3.12 Support
Phoronix: AMD Catalyst Beats NVIDIA To Linux 3.12 Support
The AMD Catalyst (fglrx) graphics driver is generally notorious in having belated support for new Linux kernel and X.Org Server releases while NVIDIA is usually very quick in supporting development kernels / xorg-servers. This time around for the Linux 3.12 kernel, the mainline Catalyst beta already supports the yet-to-be-out kernel while NVIDIA does not have this compatibility...
