The release of the code will speed up the development of Vulkan in Linux, help the new AMD hardware to be supported as it is released, it will provide Linux developers access to Radeon GPU Profiler set of tools and will easily integrate AMD’s Vulkan extensions.
It is not clear if this driver is going to be as successful as initially expected, since as AMD has taken so long to release its code that the developers created RADV, based on Mesa and now the project is advanced enough to continue using it instead of changing it per Vulkan when it is Open Source.
We will have to wait for the release of the code to compare it with RADV, which has already become a basic package in many Linux distributions.
