Apex Compute Building Open-Source Mesa Vulkan Driver
Original: Apex Compute Developing Open-Source Mesa Vulkan Driver For Their Hardware
Chipmaker Apex Compute is developing an open-source Vulkan driver within the Mesa project for its hardware. The work would let its devices run modern graphics and compute workloads on Linux using a mainline, community-maintained driver rather than a proprietary stack. Details on specific products, timelines and feature coverage have not yet been announced.
Why now: Open-source Mesa driver support is a notable sign a new hardware vendor is embracing upstream Linux graphics standards.
