    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.

      Google just switched to PowerVR, didn't they?

        Tensor G4 used Arm GPUs while G5 and G6 switched to PowerVr.

        Given the horrible GPU performance as well as thermal issues in G5 and G6, Google will have to switch back in G7.

    This should have happened years ago.

      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.

          opens wikipedia (Emphasis mine:)

          > Moats were excavated around castles and other fortifications as part of the defensive system as an obstacle immediately outside the walls.

          Unfortunate wording?

            Moats are supposed to be obstacles for your competitors, not your consumers.
