It is sad that the noisy gamers spend so much time criticizing AMD for delivering balanced GPU performance. Not everybody using AMD GPUs is a gamer guys, some of us don’t give a rate ass about how well the GPU supports the latest games.
What we do care about is good balance performance across a number of workloads and open and reliable software. AMD might come up short with respect to reliable but they are not that much worse than the competition.
What im hoping for from AMD is that Navi is a success so that they can continue to expand production of software and hardware variants. In the end guys that is what is needed to solve the software issues, strong sales that will lead to expanded software development teams.

Will be interesting to see if the "refactoring clk mgr" mentioned in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/...2efbefe9e2a87e will some day put an end to the arbitrary and erratic seeming relationship between display refresh rates and the minimum shader and memory clocks - which have been changing time and again with code updates.

We were aiming for 5.2 with a good safety margin but IP review and approvals took a lot longer than expected.Test signature

Agree it would be great, but Navi is going to require either a 5.3 kernel or DKMS-installed kernel drivers.

It is not known what patches AMD has in private repository. AMD have had open source drivers ready since A8-7600 launch. Some bugs of course but they will fix them fast.
AMD may or may not have patches in a private repository. Only releasing said code on day one of hardware release, thus requiring compiling the kernel and mesa to get it working. --AMD is saving desktop linux.
*not actually hating on AMD, just hating on debianxfce dumb logic. Code for new Intel hardware is available much sooner than new AMD hardware, that is sadly a true fact, one that I hope changes in the future.
