Corrections: Intel open sourced their driver not their GPUs. Broadcom open sourced part of the software running on one of their GPUs, not their GPUs.

- sounds 12y agoI understand what you're saying, that the situation is not completely clear-cut (especially what Broadcom is doing). But Intel has most definitely documented their GPU registers and hardware – not just the intel open source driver: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/driver-documentation-prms https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentation/driver-documentat...
- nitrogen 12y agoThat is not the same as open sourcing the GPU itself. They haven't released HDL source for the chips themselves.
