Raspberry Pi's V3D Kernel Driver Prepares For "CPU Jobs" To Assist Vulkan

Sounds like they're planning to keep using the Videcore VI GPU if they're doing all this work.

Not necessarily. There are a lot of Pi 4 devices out there, and more will ship before Raspberry Pi 5 launches. Good Vulkan support seems to be a priority, with ever more software using it and OpenGL essentially at a dead end.

Sounds like they're planning to keep using the Videcore VI GPU if they're doing all this work. Hopefully though it'll have a major clockspeed boost and be multicore.

considering that rpi3b will be in production until 2028, it's a safe assumption that the rpi4b will be in production much longer. and even then there will be a healthy used market im sure. These gpus will indeed be used for a very long time, though I doubt it will be in their next gen hardware
