Asahi project breakthrough: the first specification-compliant OpenGL ES 3.1 driver helps Apple chips

News on August 23, Asahi The project recently released the latest news, announcing that they have made breakthrough progress in developing graphics processing unit (GPU) drivers for Apple's M1 and M2 series chips. It is reported that the project has successfully added new OpenGL® to these chip series ES 3.1 driver.

Asahi The project was first exposed in last year's announcement, and its plans focus on providing independent GPU drivers for Apple's own developed Silicon chips. After a series of efforts such as reverse code research by project members, they obtained a preliminary driver version that can run graphics applications and benchmark tests. Since then, the team has continued to optimize and improve, and finally recently announced the successful launch of OpenGL-compliant New GPU driver based on ES 3.1 standard.

According to the editor’s understanding, in order to ensure the high stability of the driver, the project team conducted thousands of rigorous tests and used professional test suites to test various aspects of the driver. The functions have been fully verified. After multiple stability tests, they submitted an application to Khronos, the industry's authoritative standards organization, and passed a 30-day rigorous review process.

This major breakthrough means that through the new OpenGL ES 3.1 driver, users can present specific images on the screen and process the image content through flexible algorithms. This will greatly improve the graphics processing performance of Apple's Silicon chips and create a more solid foundation for supporting various graphics applications and games.

This Asahi project successfully introduced OpenGL ES 3.1 to Apple’s M1 and M2 chip series GPU driver will definitely have a positive impact on improving the graphics performance of the device and the user experience. With the achievement of this important development, consumers are full of expectations for future graphics applications and games running on these chips.
