With IMG PowerVR mostly gone from Mediatek roadmap. Which means ARM Mali is effectively the GPU IP on Android, excluding Qualcomm Adreno which its market continue to shrink and concentrate on premium segment.
I wonder how far or how good Mali is now compared to others. I wish Chip and Cheese do compassion on GPU as well.
If only that would mean a better driver story across devices and Android releases.
Unless it is a Pixel or Samsung Sxy flagship device, chances are the driver, which will never get updated, it a box full of interesting developer moments.
Just go to chrome://gpu to check the amount of workarounds enabled in Chrome alone.
The headline seems like a way to set themselves up to fail. The advancements are great, those features are definitely something a lot of developers and players are interested in, but comparing it to desktop immediately just sets the bar too high.
This is probably not about "mobile users" as in Android Phones & iPhone users .. but about the current (trendy) rise of handheld consoles ? Atleast that's what I think

Google just switched to PowerVR, didn't they?
Given the horrible GPU performance as well as thermal issues in Tensor G5 and G6, Google will have to switch back to Arm in G7.
Example benchmark showing how extremely far Google is behind:

What about support in mesa?
Give it a couple years before Valve starts sponsoring someone to reverse-engineer it
I do not understand why vendors believe their software stack is a moat. It is an obstacle to me.

Why?
I thought these GPU were open source with mainline kernel support?

This should have happened years ago.

The worst opening ever "Demands from mobile users continue to grow.". I stopped reading bullshit
What's up with that? Younger generations don't even play on PCs anymore.

Why is it bullshit ? Just because you dont need does not mean it’s not real
