Luigi311<p>Huge performance buff incoming for panfrost devices thanks to some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mntreform" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mntreform</span></a> users. They tested with rk3588 on the reform pocket and got 3x the overall motionmark score. For me I tested on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pinetab2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pinetab2</span></a> and got an overall 2x and some of the individual tests had a massive improvement. They submitted the MR upstream to mesa so it should hopefully be merged in soon especially since its a small change.</p><p><a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/35678" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/me</span><span class="invisible">sa/-/merge_requests/35678</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mesa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mesa</span></a></p>

Also, I'm strapped for cash and have been playing catch up on credit card bills I racked up while my wife was off work after surgery. One more thing I need to find a money tree for. 😂</p>
