If you mean GAMER as in an end user buying and playing games, I think your statement is correct. The compute focus came more from discussions with game...

Not sure what you mean by "massively parallel DMA machine" but GPUs aren't that simple. They are a set of serial pipelines (at least one short,...

I have to ask - when did TFLOPS become the only predictor of graphics card performance ? If you want to use it in a compute scenario that's fine, but...

Um... have to disagree there. We are very busy working on data center compute (SARS-Cov-2 isn't helping) and as an unfortunate consequence it's taking...

It was a combination of things... Navi was significantly new hardware aimed at the (Windows-centric) gaming market rather than embedded or data center,...

Sorry, don't think I saw your original question.

Which driver are you talking about ? AFAIK we do all our CPU kernel work in upstream, so...

There are a couple of different lists of supported hardware, but they all seem pretty much the same. Here's one:

Graphics drivers are a bit different from most others... what you describe is correct for most hardware, but in the case of GPUs the UMD is extremely...
