It's not about having a GUI client for their graphics driver, right?

I do not think, so

I think is is relatd to Xilinx magic

On January 27, 2022, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., (“AMD”) and Xilinx, Inc. (“Xilinx”) received clearance from the National Anti-Monopoly Policy Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation of the People’s Republic of China with respect to the merger (the “Merger”) of Thrones Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AMD (“Merger Sub”), with and into Xilinx, with Xilinx surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of AMD, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 26, 2020, by and among AMD, Merger Sub and Xilinx.

On January 10, 2022, in connection with the proposed Merger, AMD refiled its Premerger Notification and Report Form (the “Notification”) with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). The Notification was made prior to the one-year expiration of the previous HSR Act notification. The waiting period under the HSR Act, which began upon refiling the Notification, will expire at 11:59 pm, Eastern Time, on February 9, 2022, unless AMD and Xilinx receive early termination or AMD or Xilinx receives a request for additional information that would extend the waiting period.

And joint AMD Xilinx shows posibility of new chiplet/3D chiplet based joint products very soon., And they need much more software suport the current products of both comapnies alone

I just want reliable reporting for cpu and gpu stats. currently with gpu, the only way to get video decode metrics is an outdated fork of radeontop that only supports r600 and up.

yeah its unfortunate. its all there in the driver but accessing it is a mess. i love my 6900 xt, but nvidia's control panel is nice. their control panel may be an old gtk 2 one from 2005, but its very functional. it be nice if amd just released a basic, open source control panel and let the community go from there. but have something official to work off of with amd's own eyes on it.

amd needs to have the non-gui elements in place for an opensource control panel (not implying that currently they have none... just that there's a bunch of useful stuff pending)

the panels will come, and even better is if those elements are exposed in a way that, to the limit that this makes sense, can be handled similarly for all gpu brands and models (W consumption, temperature, main clock and memory clock, fan curve, ...)

a few nifty things i've seen in the past:

old talks about embrionary work on exposing things (which has advanced since)

Radeon Profile is awesome tech, opensource and maintained by AMD

CoreCtrl is also awesome:

my problem with corectrl is that it does more than just gpu things. i hate it how it messes with cpu governors and the like. i know you can disable that stuff, but i wish it was strictly gpu only. just copy nvidia with their control panel lol.
