Phoronix: The Big Graphics Driver Update Lands In Linux 5.5 With Exciting Changes For Intel + AMD

Typo:

AMDGPU has continued onboard of the "Arcturus" Vega-drived workstation GPU with now handling VCN encoding, EEPROM support, and other features. Meanwhile Vega 20 has added RAS support.

I don't see flip patch for amdgpu landing yet (it didn't make in 5.4 either).

Remind me, what's the state with radv vs AMDGPU these days for Vulcan support? Performance, new hardware support, features, other pros & cons? I'm mostly interested in state on Radon 5700 XT.
