I think we already have statement from AMD that pm got green light from legal department, but this time around it was before code was 100% ready. So right now we wait for devs to just finish creating reliable code.

No point in releasing partial code here. Only AMD have access to technical documentation, and that partial code could damage GPUs.

Though I want that code now! My notebook just lost wifi. It may not last long enough, while I would like that 380...
