    RADV & Intel sent in the MR for Mesa 22... Still no word on Nvidia?


    I wonder if they're busy debating which GPUs should get support for it, AMD surely doesn't have the resources NV have for the non-mainstream OS's?

      Obviously that is more Windows than Linux, but within the Linux world it does imply something like 85% open source vs 15% closed source.

      What the numbers above do not show is the impact of idle integrated GPUs, ie on a desktop system if someone has both iGPU and dGPU they would probably just be running the dGPU, which would mean the numbers shift up a bit for closed source.
      in my point of view AMD honestly has the best overall market position...
      yes one can say AMD (5950X) lose in the average overall phoronix.com score to intel 12900K but if we also consider it is 141watt TDP vs 272watt TDP the "minimal" win of intel is not a big lose.
      but on the GPU side AMD looks very good with the opensource driver int he last benchmarks the 6800XT outperform a 3090,,,

      even intel with their iGPUs and now upcoming ARC GPUs look much better than NVIDIA...

      Nvidia is the clear loser in the overall market...
      their try to catch up by buying ARM failes... and honestly without a X86_64 license they can not compete in the market...
      Seperate -CPU and GPU really comes to an end it is all SOC now like playstation5 ... or the very good AMD rembrand APUs

      Nvidia failed to enter the x86_64 cpu market with the patent time out of SSE2... next date to enter x86 cpu market is 2026 with the end of SSE3...

      now Nvidia failed with ARM,,,, maybe they should Focus on RISC-V or OpenPOWER...

      but i really think with GPU alone a company like Nvidia will die... you need both today CPU and GPU and put this in a SOC..

      Nvidia looks much better on windows than on linux... but i bet all my money on the rise of linux with steam deck and other players in the linux market.

        ...so your argument is invalid.
        Is it me or am I losing to birdie?
        Birdie's commens generally makes no sense on a linux focused website like phoronix.com...

        you could see more posts like birdie on a general tech side ...

        he basically always tell us people that we are not important and that we are losers on the market and so one.
