Need to see real world perdormance on low end device, it does sound quite promising
So this means Moto g4 plus has vulkan support? I am asking so because just got Android 7 update for Moto and it still says vulkan is not supported.
Unfortunately, we are still relying on the OEM and the SoC manufacturers. A Vulkan-capable SoC may not get it because the publisher won't update the device (Low-end devices are the most affected ones), or the SoC may not get updated drivers at all (Qualcomm, I'm talking about you)
Best news I have read on gsmarena in a long time

Oh I didn't realise it helps cpu too, I thought only affected gpu. Would be nice to make budget devices run better.

Only device with vulkan and without nougat yet is the galaxy s7. But custom roms won't necessarily give it, and the nexus 6 doesn't have it either since it's only 32bit.

I think ARM is a much more innovate company than AMD, Intel and nVidia together.

LeEco Le Pro 3 has SD821, OpenGL ES 3.2 by default.
Basically, any SoC that can support OpenGL ES 3.2 -> Android 7 supported.

Definitely need more content like this 👍 Not enough transparency on how alot of these amazing systems work.
Kirin 960 got Vulcan?
Thank you AMD for the wonderful technology we all can use. Vulkan, Adaptive Sync and HBM.
Nvidia we are waiting for your contribution to computing that benefits others except Nvidia.
