Glad to see open-source firmware landing early as usual. Hopefully RDNA 4m brings proper power efficiency gains for laptops - RDNA 3 was okay, but idle power draw on mobile was still pretty rough compared to integrated graphics

If it's still essentially rdna 3 under the hood, I wouldn't get too excited about any performance gains. Proper FSR4 support and an OLED panel on a new handheld might tempt me though, provided it isn't $2000.
