AMD Picasso Support Comes To The RadeonSI OpenGL Driver

[dungeon]

Does anyone have any clue what the differences between Picasso and Raven2 are?

One have just diferent rev id and one have different pci id... as code says

Other than that, maybe you can ask Bridgman who can't speak about unreleased products

Let's hope we see this in some higher end notebooks. All the Raven Ridge laptops so far seem very low to mid end.

I'm very pleased with my Raven Ridge (ENVY). I know it isn't "high end" but running Linux it runs better than my 2017 MBP 13" I had before that went missing. That isn't to say it doesn't have issues but at this point I'm not sure who is responsible for the remaining problems. I do know that each time there is a major kernel update from Fedora or a graphical system update performance goes up as does stability.

Could the machine be faster, certainly but that is the case with every computer I've owned since the Vic 20 was a new machine all those years ago. I suspect (frankly from following phoronix) that by kernel 4.19 and the next release of Fedora we will have reached pretty much full use of the hardware. This might be a mid range priced laptop but with these modern multi core processors you are getting a real bargain in performance over hardware just 2-3 years old.

Now given all of that Picassso already has me interested in what comes next. I just wish that we were seeing more AMD chips in small form factor machines because not every need I have is for a laptop.

Of course, silence is part of the music

All that silence tricks started since likely Pythagoreanism movement about 2500 years ago
