Over the past week there has been an uptick in patches pertaining to RDNA4's GFX12 graphics engine within the open-source Radeon Vulkan driver "RADV" for Mesa 25.0 to benefit Linux systems. Primarily by Valve's Samuel Pitoiset who handles much of the RADV driver development there has been a notable increase in GFX12 (RDNA4) related patches hitting the Mesa Git tree in recent days... Either due to Valve/RADV developers recently managing to get their hands on Radeon RX 9070 series hardware early from AMD or partners, trying to squeeze in last minute changes ahead of the upcoming Mesa 25.0 branch point, and/or receiving more RDNA4/GFX12 documentation/details.
