Linux 5.8 features for the Radeon "AMDGPU" kernel driver include the likes of Navi soft recovery and better handling of critical thermal faults on Radeon GPUs as well as enabling TMZ support.

I think Renoir also has what is labelled as VCN 2.5, where Navi has VCN 2.0...

..dare we hope for AV1 decode?

Separately, Renoir also has DCN 2.1 - vs 2.0 for Navi - and that added HDMI 2.1 for Desktop Renoir (with B550 board support required).
