We've known since last year when Imagination published their open-source PowerVR Vulkan driver that they'd be focusing on a Vulkan hardware driver only and using the likes of the Zink compatibility layer for OpenGL support. Today Imagination formally announced OpenGL 4.6 for their GPUs via Zink.

Imagination with their proprietary drivers haven't advanced past OpenGL 3.3 while now thanks to leveraging the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan compatibility layer are now ready to advertise OpenGL 4.6 support for their products.
