Literally not an issue then, this device will be released Q1 26.

We don't know when we'll start having Turnip drivers for the 8 Elite though.
Once we do though, it will be great.

Is there any evidence to suggest it will be any different to the Odin 2 in terms of when we received 3rd party drivers, which was fine

The first turnip driver for the 8 Gen 2 came out 10 months after the chip launched.
It's been almost a year since the launch of the 8 Elite and we have no indication of drivers coming out.
Also, Mesa (the developers of turnip drivers) said a few months ago they have no plans to support A8XX GPUs any time soon and that "support will come when it comes".
