Yeah, if linux gaming does take off the story of the development of this chip might be have the trappings of “Pirates of Silicon Valley” story one day, at least to techies. It would be interesting to get the details of how this all went down considering about a year before Van Gogh, at the beginning of 2020, there was a rumor that Apple was going to make a 5000 dollar gaming mac (that would sorta slot into where the mac studio is now). If the “gaming mac” portion of the rumor is true, that potentially raises more questions like if Apple might have wanted to keep designing x86_64 macs, and if AMD was shopping the idea of this chip to a number of parties or who put money in the development of this chip and when (as you pointed out). Again not because theres something nefarious going on, but just because it seems like a great story.
