Not sure I am reading this correctly. AMD already has GPU RDNA drivers in Linux kernel. So It doesn't need Samsung to kick start this. The partnership with Samsung ARM and AMD RDNA GPU SoC only goes for Phone and Tablet, or any market that AMD silicon currently does not currently operate in.

I think that was the GP's point, ie Samsung wouldn't need to invest in writing new drivers but should rather be able to do relatively easy adaptations to existing ones to get things off the ground.
