Freedreno Gallium3D Enables Adreno 621 & 505 GPU Support
With the open-source Adreno graphics driver stack already on with the Adreno 700 series, these new A505 and A621 parts aren't too notable -- just deserving mention on Phoronix to help out any users that may have Qualcomm SoCs with said hardware.
The Adreno 505 support was merged with just needing a one-line addition. The Adreno 505 is found within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 and 435 SoCs.
Merged yesterday was the Adreno 621 initial support for this "baby A650 found in some peculiar SoCs." In the merge request for the Adreno 621 support it was tested to be hitting 18~29 FPS within Minecraft...
Not exactly exciting unless you happen to have some SoCs with these old GPUs and are looking for open-source graphics driver support. Mesa 24.3 with these additions should debut as stable in the November timeframe.
