I guess it is fortunate, in a way, that there should be substantial code sharing between SI and SI+1.... fortunate for me because I have SI.... so if you guys are working on SI+1 and you realize that as a prerequisite you need to get something done that will benefit both SI and SI+1, that's great for me!
SI is seeming like the lost generation right now, so hopefully that changes (it'll have to, or RadeonSI will be able to power neither SI nor SI+1, I think).
Also, how are your efforts that affect cards "across the board" (no pun intended) affecting your development schedule for SI+1 bringup? Certainly that has to take time away from working on the core hardware bringup code (which is huge, judging by RadeonSI). I know you have some folks working on OpenCL, power management, perhaps even newer versions of OpenGL support? These are certainly nice to have, if not downright desirable from my perspective, but lower priority for me than getting performance up there as well as full OpenGL 2.1 with no hardlocks / segfaults.
