Reading the topic i got a bit worried that it was something not working in linux, but it was only lack of samples to review, let's hope phoronix will get the samples soon.
Seeing the Ubuntu DC kernel article feels good since yesterday was the day that reviewers should have got RX Vega.
I also think that we have seen articles lately that is preparing for Vega all marked with something like "It will be interesting to see how the RX Vega does"Last edited by Nille_kungen; 10 August 2017, 11:30 AM.

1. Sampling plans are based on the minimum forecasts for kit availability & timing - if the numbers end up better then more sites get samples
2. The Linux engineering folks normally don't get involved in marketing & sampling (other than making sure drivers are ready), but if we hear ithat things are not going well then we try to escalate internally
3. Marketing & PR sometimes have different priorities - Marketing drives initial decisions but PR gets involved closer to launch and may tweak plansTest signature
