07:48 <gbisson> Marex: there you go: https://pastebin.com/GmBrjxqa it says GC7000 which isn't surprising

13:07 <Marex> gbisson: it actually is, since the MX8MM has a GC600

13:55 <gbisson> Marex: those are 2 different platforms, iMX8MM has small GPU2D + GPU3D but Nano has GC7000UL (OpenGL3.1 + Vulkan) capable

13:58 <Marex> gbisson: I would expect that Nano < Mini :-)

13:58 <Marex> apparently not

13:59 <gbisson> Marex: haha, well it is true if you're talking VPU, there's none on Nano, but GPU is supposed to be better

13:59 <gbisson> Marex: you're gonna be happy when you'll see the GPU on i.MX8MPlus then ;)

13:59 <Marex> gbisson: oh? do tell

13:59 <Marex> gbisson: do you know anything about it ?

13:59 <gbisson> Well it's the same as the Nano ;) GC7000UL

13:59 <gbisson> + a GPU2D one

14:00 <Marex> exactly the same ?

14:00 <gbisson> yes

14:00 <gbisson> GC7000UL + GC520L

14:01 <Marex> gbisson: they can still mess it up by tweaking the feature bits

14:01 <gbisson> maybe

14:35 <smurray> heh, still 4xA53, not even A55s?

15:39 <mntmn> core upgrade only with i.MX9 i guess

15:41 <mntmn> also, still nobody ships the big i.MX8?

16:57 <Marex> mntmn: I think it's clear that MX9MMNQ will have better GPU than MX9MQNP

16:58 <Marex> mntmn: big MX8Q* are dead likely because of the upstream support and the horrid blobware needed to even boot it

17:00 <Marex> smurray: MX6Q->MX6QP also wasn't core upgrade, and the performance boost was amazing

17:04 <smurray> Marex: I doubt that's going to repeat with A53s unless they're juicing the clockspeed a lot

17:05 <Marex> smurray: what's the problem with A53 ? works well enough for what it's aimed at

17:07 <smurray> Marex: they've always seemed kind of slow to me, guess my expectations are too high

17:08 <Marex> smurray: on which SoC ?

17:10 <smurray> Marex: stuff like the rpi3 and M3. I'll admit that newer SoCs with it clocked faster seem better, but it struck me as underwhelming to begin with

17:33 <cphealy> Marex: are you aware of any public information regarding MX9 yet?

17:33 <Marex> cphealy: please ask your FAE

17:33 <cphealy> ;-)

18:00 <mntmn> there is one bit of info from a german NXP interview where they say MX9 is gonna use Cortex-A55

18:00 <mntmn> here https://www.elektroniknet.de/markt-technik/halbleiter/in-derselben-liga-wie-snapdragon-amd-und-nvidia-168248-Seite-3.html

18:10 <cphealy> I've heard a similar thing about the A55s. I've also heard the newer i.MX will have video decode that supports DEC400 and that all display controller planes will support DEC400 instead of just one.
