AFAIK AMD's RADV devs based their work on Intel's ANV driver. How can we know if the code improvements on the latter will have an impact on the former?

From what I've seen, they only share the Compiler/WSI stuff, not the actual drivers, where the performance is being improved.

AMD is not working on RADV.
