From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A lot of people here seemed excited for these chips. It'll be very interesting to see the gaming performance as this could bring in an entire new segment of portable devices running Linux if powerful enough to deliver solid battery life and CPU performance.

As the article says, there is no graphics driver yet, so nobody is experimenting with these chips in the gaming world yet in that sense 😉

Maybe somebody is prototyping a Windows platform in the meantime, and I haven't seen the benchmarks, but I would be surprised if these chips could outperform AMD's similar APU packages.

Isn't it using adreno GPU? Freedreno exists for a long time.
