I’ve been wondering if it has to do with ATIs amdgpu opensour e driver work

Intel announced new performance graphics parts on the way, they’ll be learning a lot from AMD and seems reasonable to say they’ll be leaning on amdgpu for these parts

If they’re quietly teaming up to support an open modern video driver architecture, that would help put pressure on nVidia. While historically the better performer, nVidia drivers can be fickle.

We’d end up tossing fewer gadgets if we required they run open-source:

Reading it verbatim isn’t necessary for everyone

A “paper trail” back to the contents of our gadgets that can be audited, and some people would no doubt, would be much better than

“Fu society we own it all.”

Open source is the means of production today. Let’s keep it that way.
