The Anticipated Linux Driver Requirements For The Radeon Instinct MI50 / MI60 (Vega 20)

"generally the better the kernel the better"
so true

[Buntolo]

Are you talking about for MI60 or RX 590? I don't personally know many of the other people, but really isn't worthwhile anyways bending over backwards and wasting the time trying to figure out alternatives if AMD doesn't want to send one out... Their loss - not a lot of Linux benchmarks then, don't know how they aren't aware of my many and routine Linux benchmarks beyond the initial review of driver/kernel updates, other comparisons, etc.

As far as RX 590, if they aren't sampling me, I'll end up buying one when it becomes available... Obviously for Radeon Instinct that isn't an option.

I was talking about the MI60, as it costs a truckload of money it will be impossible to buy alone, and I was suggesting to having it borrowed by AMD.

The comment section of that article is quite funny to read so many years after the article was written.
Here's a good one: "Unfortunately he will also be the reason the project will die by 2017."

Yeah, please don't read too much old books or about old things, because aftermath of that is that you will start laughing on everything just like me

That was marked as fixed by another MS, even before you are joining these forums

MS opened a bug, MS fixed a bug... even when it is not really fixed, does not matter so Merry Christmas

As Brisse already said, this is going to happen, and when it will, maybe MS will finally fix Ubuntu bug #1...

Microsoft will buy let say Canonical

Looks like it has a Mini-DisplayPort to me. Wonder if somebody will fiddle about a bit and get Mesa running on it. ;- )

I know that deep neural nets are the latest craze that gets all the attention (and I say that, working in an environment were most are doing data analysis), but there are people using clusters to *render* stuff. It's very likely that this card will run Mesa and specially vulkan.

Also some dev will eventually have a single unit plugged into their workstation to test and develop code before deploying on the cluster. Might as well use it to display stuff (like the editor) on the screen.

Both above together mean, that yes, you'll actually be able to play games. Though for that use, the extremely large memory might be a bit of over-kill, specially given the high price tag attached to it.

Ha, ha, i am not joking i am laughing

MS bought Github this year, they also take i think 6 games developer studios just to make more XBOne exclusives and whatever else... so they could buy Canonical even without noticing it

Same way they break linux code without noticing it, so Merry Christmas

Well, we already know MS has no chance to buy RedHat...... So, good news.....

I get that you are just joking around, but trust me, this is going to happen.

Maybe MS Linux is new Windows, as we now have MS inside breaking things around harassment free

Maybe Microsoft will buy let say Canonical, so it does not matter... Merry Christmas
