I'd like to try it out, but:
- are there any distributions shipping it?
- what hardware does it support?
I can guess that distros are not shipping it due to some stability concerns (which I could not see so far). I'm also guessing that despite being a Gallium driver, some features will depend on the capabilities of the underlying hardware. Can I hope that my AMD APU will finally get some OpenCL support?
That’s the nice thing about it, it supports most hardware supported by Mesa going back even to r600 GPUs [0]. So anything Intel or AMD should work.
My guess for as to why distributions are not enabling it yet might be due to the Rust build dependency that might require a newer Rust version than what’s provided by the distribution.

What APU is it? OpenCL support goes back pretty far.
I believe my really old Llano (2011) APU even had OpenCL support. It was a selling point at the time.
Not that it really matters for me, I only run wgpu compute stuff over Vulkan for my experiments.
For what it's worth, my Llano kept hanging up when I tried.
If you are on Windows... shrug.
