Phoronix: AMD Readies More Kernel Graphics Driver Code For Linux 6.11, Enables DCC For RDNA4

On Friday more AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel driver changes were submitted for the upcoming Linux 6.11 cycle by way of DRM-Next. We're nearing the end of feature work to DRM-Next before the Linux 6.11 merge window begins in mid-July while this latest AMD pull request continues preparing for upcoming RDNA4 graphics hardware among other changes...

It seems that all major GPU vendors are waiting for TSMC's N3P node process to get ready for mass production.

you mean N4P?
alll next gen GPUs will be on it

Nvidia already used N4P. I don't think that they are going back to this for next gen. It would be a mistake to go back to N4P if N3P may be ready in time for improved mass production. I base my assumptions on this article about TSMC's N3P preparations. And it sounds plausible to me.

its almost certain its N4P, the other option is N3E but its unlikely
