Last I checked, which was quite recently, they were literally not programmable on Linux whatsoever. The "issue" is it's completely unsupported on Linux and does not work at all. (OpenCL on the normal CPU cores works, mind you, but is embarrassingly slow compared normal threaded code, so that's useless) > > A complete joke if they're targeting scientific GPGPU, and useless for LAD > > too.

Unfortunately Intel is light years ahead of AMD in most things these days. Though, if AMD has CPUs with on-die programmable GPUs in Linux, I for one would be quite a bit more interested... -dr
