…Now what?
Ship a great driver? Check.
Conformant OpenGL 4.6, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3.0? Check.
Conformant Vulkan 1.4? Check.
Proton gaming? Check.
That’s a wrap.
We’ve succeeded beyond my dreams. The challenges I chased, I have tackled. The drivers are fully upstream in Mesa. Performance isn’t too bad. With the Vulkan on Apple myth busted, conformant Vulkan is now coming to macOS via LunarG’s KosmicKrisp project building on my work.
Satisfied, I am now stepping away from the Apple ecosystem. My friends in the #Asahi#Linux orbit will carry the torch from here. As for me?
Onto the next challenge (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/introduction-to-the-xe-hpg-architecture.html)!""
