thread_title: Table bar could be floating or repeated down page, it makes comparing features difficult

message: The information that the GPU has 500MTriangles/s fillrate is a rumor from the page
and it also says that Snapdragon 810 has Krait64 CPU and supports LPDDR3. They are not truth.
So it should delete data of ALUs, fillrate, and flops.--Maricolle1993 (talk) 03:35, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  move to "Adreno" 

message: hey, this is the freedreno guy.  I noticed a couple issues in the table that I'd thought I'd point out:
a3xx is not vliw (althought is still ofc unified shader model).  It is a scalar architecture with pipelining handled (mostly) explicitly by the shader compiler... by which I mean various different categories of instructions, the compiler needs to be aware that the result is available a certain # of instruction slots later.   I've written up some documentation at https://github.com/freedreno/freedreno/wiki/A3xx-shader-instruction-set-architecture
a4xx appears to be the same shader core as a3xx with some small tweaks.  At this point, I don't have a4xx hardware yet, so I can't conclusively say anything.  But qcom has included a4xx support in their binary driver releases for a while, and it is possible to trick the blob driver into thinking it is running on a4xx hardware and intercept cmdstream.  From this, what I see is that a4xx has basically the same shader core with some small tweaks (there are a few cases where fewer delay slots are needed between instructions).  There are quite a lot of changes outside of the shader core, but with only one small difference (larger immediate bitfield for catagory 0 instructions... ie. a4xx can do larger jump's) it looks like shaders compile for a3xx should run correctly on a4xx.  (There are, however, quite a lot of changes outside of the shader core, mostly related to support for full dx11 pipeline.)
As far as GLES versions, all a3xx and later should in theory support opengles 3.0.  Whether gles3 drivers are shipped on a particular device is a different matter.
Also, I'd suggest to drop the 'Video Codecs' columns.  Video codecs are a different IP block outside of adreno.
And I'm not sure about the 1.2 in the 'OpenGL' column for a4xx.  That doesn't seem right.  At least I've not seen anything where qcom advertised desktop opengl support (but if they wanted to, it seems like a3xx can at least do (or emulate) most of opengl 3.0 if not all).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robdclark (talk • contribs) 03:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

message: This page is about a graphics processing unit that is exclusively sold as a component of Qualcomm Snapdragon chips. In 2014, I suggested we might want to consider whether the Adreno page should be deleted or merged into Qualcomm Snapdragon.  and  said it is hard to say looking at the current article, which is flooded with tables. They wanted to see a cleaned-up version of the Adreno page in prose with good sources to get a better idea. Sometimes the best way to see if something is notable (or in this case whether it conforms to WP:LENGTH for separate articles) is to see what comes out when you try to write about it with good sources.
I actually wrote a cleaned-up prose-style version in 2014; then left it collecting digital dust! Although it is four years old now and therefore a bit out-dated, it would be a massive improvement over the current article. I have pasted it into Talk:Adreno/draft for consideration as a replacement of the current article, followed by consideration for whether it should be merged to the Snapdragon page.

replies: text: This guy copped a clue.  I, too, thought the whole article could be junked except for the lead and History sections. Technical details belongs in a product spec sheet, not wikipedia.  The Product line section reads like advertising script. What's missing here, and maybe user corporateM has that knowledge (I have some of it, too), is a whole set of sections on the architecture: an overview followed by a section on each component.  These are the substance of the article, and you have to know something to write something. Someone browsing the current article comes away without knowing anything about what Adreno is or how it works. Sbalfour (talk) 15:58, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

text: A large part of the problem here is that there's virtually zero meaningful information about the Adreno architecture in the public domain.  What I know comes from privileged sources, and part or most of it may be trade secrets. Sbalfour (talk) 20:08, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Draft 

message: Separated out Imageon and Adreno to provide space and context to expand on Imageon history. This also will give more freedom to merge Adreno with qualcomm's Snapdragon if so desired. Though I personally think Adreno merits an independent page, at present it just lacks the kind of encyclopedic info that would be of high value. pinchies (talk) 08:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
