    Broadcom would be a good choice, especially once SoC's with VideoCore V become more widespread, but they're not easy to get I've heard.

    Indeed, because Mali needs a binary blob. If you can have a GPU with a FOSS driver, go that route, and there are actually 2 options. Anything that has an Adreno GPU (Snapdragon) or a Vivante GPU (mostly i.MX). Both are well performing options.

    That one has a Mali GPU, which isn't ideal.

    Using a current Intel CPU would be a security liability. Also, it seems like ARM is the architecture of choice for the Pyra team.

    They mean up to 2W per core. I think an A55 based chip would have decent permance and efficiency. They would probably still be less performant per clock then the A15, but most of them will be clocked quite a bit higher. Problem with the higher end cores is that they usually come in quite...

    The Etnaviv driver is faster then Vivante's proprietary driver as far as I know. Freedrone is quite competetive. AMD's open source drivers used to be terrible in performance, but they put some good elbow grease into them and they've overtaken the performance of their proprietary driver on linux...

    Concerning possible followup SOC's. If you can have open source GPU drivers, you want to pick an SOC that has them. PowerVR GPU's have good performance, but they're completely closed off and I don't expect that to change. The only three mobile GPU's I know that have an open source stack are...
