Originally posted by tomtomme View PostI think there are already only 1 linux-catalyst devs left at AMD. Did you realize that the last stable linux-catalyst is half a year old and that since a year every new version of linux-catalyst only hat 6 to 10 bugfixes and almost no new features? That cannot be the work of a dev TEAM. In contrast the Mesa/OSS team of AMD grew since the last year and especially the r600 and radeonsi drivers have seen big improvements.
So I say, that AMD already is going in fact the INTEL way.
IMHO - The only reason why there is 1 linux-catalyst dev left is, that they have to maintain linux-catalyst until openGL 4.4 and full openCL are in Mesa. Because there are many AMD enterprise customers depending on linux-catalyst for their FirePro Workstation/Server cards.

Shame catalyst drivers are in such a poor state, a steamroller APU would probably make a good inexpensive Steam machine.
