Not for iphone GPUs, not for Atom GPU, its for very narrow sliver of PVR GPUs from few years back nobody used. They made some noise in 2018 about stepping up to Desktop GPU game with Chinese partners and first releases in 2020. Its 2022 and all we got was some fake Chinese "demo" and some mockup pictures last year

I mean, it's a start? I'd imagine this would establish baseline support for their GPU families with additional support coming later.

These are all DX10-era GPUs, so the number of features to implement to get a working driver is relatively low.

Alyssa always bringing joy to the world.

I mean she does a bunch of super super cool stuff but this particular driver is written by Imagination...
