@Linux4Everyone Yup, great news for sure. But Nvidia being Nvidia time will tell just how much/far they are committed. Currently this is just window dressing IMO.

Not even AMD or Intel run their GPU on open firmware, if I recall correctly.
A completely open GPU would be awesome.
@portaloffreedom It would be. Imagine having that on something like a System76 Thelio or a @frameworkcomputer laptop. But the cost for a potential competitor to even enter that market is probably astronomical.

With Risc-V the ideal starting point got lower, but it's still pretty sky-high (in fact all RISC chips I have seen have terrible closed gpu hardware, worse than nVidia)
@Linux4Everyone I heard somebody is trying to make 100% libre GPUs which would be amazing. Though they would probably not run on x86 systems. Only PowerPC and stuff.
