It's not like an OSH project can purchase a license for closed source HW something-or-another libraries, which I've read as being the main expense from anandtech (No, I'm not in the field).
if only wanting to reach a target of say producing the design files (HDL), that's a different target entirely as well, and if someone else can take over at that point (and make the actual money selling product), then that's one way to ensure that the goal's reached [but not guarantee financial benefit from it].
I assumed at the time, you were talking HDL and with an FPGA for hardware backing with basic OpenGL, OpenCL, and 2D driver. No video encode/decode HW or Vulkan driver. Not mass produced, just a few prototypes. At about the same speed as a good Intel GPU, say a high end HD630 series. If you have a more concrete or different idea I'd be glad to hear it.

But can it run Crysis? :-) I *had* to say it!
PS: luke, I aught to have mentioned in my previous email that an Intel high end HD630 series is 1/3rd as fast as an rx550 and Nvidia 1050 ti, it is also 1/2 as fast as the 2200G AMD Raven Ridge APU.
Happy returns, David
