You can find more info here: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied.../?h=r600g-tess
I'm hoping that there will be patches posted for review in mesa-dev mailing list regarding tessellation until the end of the year.
After that, GL4.1 will be reached.

Another fiasko guys... Just 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 NOT 4.3 kernel support and NOTHING more than that... I wonder if the AMD employees that make those slide presentations are NVIDIA employees in reality... I cannot explain it other way! Unbelievable... Vaapi still sucks the same. I am going back to AMDGPU with vdpau and no reclocking for the moment, it is more stable, I can use EGL with Kwin, Xserver 1.18, DRI3 and soon enough I will play games fine with my Tonga!

If AMD would be a bit better in being sneaky, they can get idea: aha, we are good in doing massively parallel crypto. And now everyone wants SSL? Very handy! Sounds like a new emerging market. Hey, all, we have epic crypto accelerators! Do 50x more TLS sessions on same server! But ok, it would be way too sneaky and smartass for AMD management.
NVIDIA is moving on from Maxwell, and guess what? It's async compute support is getting fixed.
AMD is still going to be behind Intel in performance, even after Zen.
simply because on-die HBM will make APUs too expensive for their price point,
APUs with HBM is simply a pipe-dream.
