Diving into Qualcomm's Upcoming Adreno X2 GPU with Eric Demers

What are their drivers like?

Fully open source? Unlikely methinks.

jordand•4w 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•4w ago
We have that for GPUs and nVidia were doing pretty well before AI hardware started being popular.
david-gpu•4w ago
Shortly after this interview, Eric announced that he is leaving Qualcomm.

jonkoops•4w ago
Surely it will work properly on Linux with upstreamed drivers, right? Right?
aseipp•3w 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•4w ago
What's the point? They are e-waste as soon as they leave the factory.
speed_spread•4w 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.
petermcneeley•3w ago
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).
