Oh, that's a bit disappointing. I was hoping for something more widely used in mobile/tablet space. Like MALI-400.

When Michael breaks out the Algad Power Beer (from Algeria), we'll know that PowerVR is going open source. :rolleyes:

Haha. You guys are finally starting to realize that when I post pictures of beer on Phoronix there's often double meanings or other information to be gathered from the otherwise random photos....

We can't do big statements for Mali, like in january/february, anymore :) When we do have time, we are slowly working on completing things. Nothing spectacular there, except when some interesting milestones are reached or some demos happen. Nothing _as_ big anymore as "now we cracked open an ARM GPU", as we're too bogged down doing slow grunt work :)

Has this announcement been made?

Maybe we'll see another Phoronix article why the announcement didn't come ;)
