AMD Open-Sources Vulkan "Anvil"

[pal666]

Wow. You can't call it that. Anvil is the Intel Vulkan driver. It's been shipping for a year now. Does noone Google?

This is going to cause a ton of confusion.

intel driver is called anv

Anvils, anvils everywhere.

Nice! Having an anvil to pound on is a great stress reliever.

At least way more from AMD than any other company.

All lies, it was invented by Apple. /s

[oooverclocker]

More to the point, Vulkan is a product whose origins comes from AMD not Intel.

Which makes me wonder, what makes the name "Anvil" so fascinating?

People are listening too much Conan the Barbarian soundtrack.

I heard it is great to listen to when you are coding. You know, to give yourself the impression your coding skills are epic...

Which makes me wonder, what makes the name "Anvil" so fascinating? A Ubisoft game engine called Anvil as well, and now not one but two Vulkan-related projects use the name.

Strange, isn't it? It's almost like the name "anvil" has some association with Vulcan, Roman god of the forge.

They can call it whatever the hell they want. It's an open source project. No one give's a rat's a$$ that Intel's code name for their Vulkan driver is Anvil. More to the point, Vulkan is a product whose origins comes from AMD not Intel.

I think you are overreacting a bit too fucking much here.

It's as if AMD had a special Department of Poor and Confusing Names, that they consult before every release...
