What are the facts about how long AMD provides drivers for?

Nvidia provide drivers for what feels like a VERY long time.

I have the feeling that AMD gives up on providing drivers after only a few years of product life.

But these are only hunches, anyone know the facts?

Are you sayig AMD provides drivers for 22 years just because that's a headline on HN?

I don't believe that.

My question stands - anyone have FACTS?

I'm saying that you're posting your question on the wrong page. Your question is off topic here.

OH yes I see.

AMD gpu drivers are in the linux kernel. They support even very old hardware. And linux only drops drivers when there are no users. So amd cards stay supported for basically their entire lifetime.
