In light of these improvements, could you please include the Fury again in your future Mesa 19.2 benchmarks?

How is the progress of radv support for Navi? Is it moving or still blocked with missing documentation?

Still no hardware.

I guess AMD has an advantage to work on radeonsi in advance. Can't they arrange something for radv developers in such cases to speed up releases?

Even if they need the hardware to do real tests on and finish everything off, the driver changes to radeonsi are public and give a good overview of the things that will need to change. I'd say they have all they need at the moment, even if there's 1% of remaining details they can't be sure about.

Jealous. That's a Zen-based APU in the laptop right? I've had 2 AMD APU's, but they are both pre-Zen. An A10-5750m and a FX-9800p, Used both with Linux mostly and they were both great notebooks, but they could do decent gaming on Windows 10 too.

No. Bristol Ridge is A-series. First Zen APU was Raven Ridge. Earlier Zen CPUs were Summit and second gen are Pinnacle.
