What are Imagination GPUs exactly? Their website seems confusing. Can it be a replacement for Nvidia/AMD top GPUs? Or more for Intel? Or is it an entirely different thing?

You may recognize the name PowerVR from ages of yore. They bowed out of the consumer desktop market in the early days and I believe now focus more on mobile, automotive, IoT and other specialized devices.

According to the blog, they want to be in on the RISC-V space early; advertising their IP as approachable to RISC-V chip designers.

With their GPU having true FOSS drivers now, I could actually see that happen.
