Freedreno Gallium3D Enables Adreno 621 & 505 GPU Support


Being merged for Mesa 24.3 to the Freedreno open-source Gallium3D (OpenGL) driver for Qualcomm Adreno GPUs is now supporting the Adreno 621 and 505 graphics processors.

Merged yesterday was the Adreno 621 initial support for this "baby A650 found in some peculiar SoCs." In the merge request for the Adreno 621 support it was tested to be hitting 18~29 FPS within Minecraft... Not exactly exciting unless you happen to have some SoCs with these old GPUs and are looking for open-source graphics driver support.
