Would be nice to see what kind of performance impact this is going to have as, IIRC, the reason why they added shader caching in the fist place was because...

That ultimately depends on their reasoning... Argumentum ad populum is a known logical fallacy and history is full of examples where the common consensus...

Oh for crying out loud... The fundamental issue here is that the new license is is incompatible with other licenses and what people want to do with their...

Umm... The post specifically talks about this coming to the Xperia XA2 at the end of January and they've stated before that they'll make a decision on...

Well look...

As I keep trying to explain to you, over and over again, the any lack of software freedom/openness stems from everyone except than the MongoDB developers....

[L_A_G]

Oh for crying out loud... Is this really that hard to understand?

If you can't publish the source for something you're working on or with,...

English clearly isn't your first language (it isn't mine either), but let's see if I can finally get trough to you here:

The incompatibility...

[L_A_G]

Again, the fact that something is too free/open for many users' liking doesn't mean that it's not free/open. It's free/open to a fault, sort of how the...

My impression is that it's positioned as a high end gaming and lower-end workstation GPU at the same time. Seen plenty of times where people have used...

Having actually used OpenCL I know from experience CPU mode is mostly there to make it so that you don't need to re-write the compute code in use cases...

So can we start playing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" for GSYNC now? Because I sure can't wait to do so......

If we're going to be pedantic about it, he's center-right and he's admitted as much himself....
