Not true. We had open source drivers for every generation of radeon hardware. We supported the original radeon and r200 open source drivers, and after...

We provide a closed source OpenGL driver for workstation, but the open source OpenGL driver is recommended for gaming and performs better for that. The...

There is nothing standing in the way of this today from a hardware perspective. You just need to stream data directly from the nvme to the GPU's vram...

It's display hardware only....

You could just reuse the socket and not populate the extra lanes. The same physical socket is shared with Epyc as well. The original argument was that...

Also an increase in die size for the extra memory PHYs and data fabric routing and reworked packaging. AMD does make a quad memory channel CPU, it's...

Support for HDR in the KMS API and in desktop environments is still in very active discussions regardless of vendor. There are a number of in progress...

There is no standard KMS HDR API and no support for HDR yet in desktop environments. There are a number of ongoing RFCs and discussions about defining...

Sure, it's theoretically possible, just painful....

Pre-GFX6 hardware does not support GPU virtual memory and resource descriptors in memory. The lack of these hardware features makes it very difficult...

The hardware scheduler is a microcontroller on the GPU that runs firmware. It's available on all dGPUs and APUs since Sea Islands (GFX7) for compute and...

They are not related. The hardware scheduler on the GPU is a replacement for the GPU scheduler in the kernel driver (e.g., the software that chooses...

CDNA2 GPUs have no graphics pipe. In theory you could write a vulkan driver that only exposed compute and transfer queues, but I'm not sure off hand if...

The CPU frequency drivers don't actually make any decisions about what clocks to choose. They just provide the range of available performance levels....

We are not removing vega support. It's just seeing a reduced level of validation. It's no different than any other project. For example, older GPUs...
