Indeed, the performance gains seem outstanding.

The mention of upgrades to the GPU leave me a little puzzled still.
Some years ago there was report of efforts to write an open-source
GPU driver for VideoCore IV by Eric Anholt, under sponsorship from
the Raspberry Pi Foundation. I've not found much mention of recent
progress, nor any explicit report of deployment. Is the GPU being
utilized fully (or at all) now in open-source? Where will the hardwre
GPU upgrades leave the open-source community?

Thanks for posting!
