What are their drivers like?

Fully open source? Unlikely methinks.

jordand•13h ago

Last I read was Mesa support for those Adreno GPUs is still work-in-process. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20250930-kaana-gpu-support...

Would be nice if Qualcomm worked with at least 1 OEM to get at least one Linux distro supported at launch.

Hypothetically if they did I'd pre order one.

If we had a vibrant open source TPU interface, inference / training stack... what would be left of Nvidia?

onion2k•13h ago

We have that for GPUs and nVidia were doing pretty well before AI hardware started being popular.

Shortly after this interview, Eric announced that he is leaving Qualcomm.

Surely it will work properly on Linux with upstreamed drivers, right? Right?

aseipp•3h ago

Mesa already has initial support for Adreno 8xx[1] and the DRM side was already merged into the kernel back in November.[2]

If only Qualcomm knew how to do software more than lawyer.

dingi•10h ago

What's the point? They are e-waste as soon as they leave the factory.

speed_spread•10h ago

This guy sure knows his Poutine. Unfortunately nothing described in the article is relevant without proper Linux support which is still unlikely despite Qualcomm's repeated pledges.

I see the mention of Wave64. It would be nice if we could all standardize on 32. The hw backend can do what it wishes (dual/quad issue etc).
