I am particularly interested in Trinity and Richland AMD APUs. The have Northern Islands/VLIW4-based GPU architectures. As far as I know on Linux they have great support by open source drivers (unfortunately with binary blob). As far as I know there is some basic automatic relocking of this GPUs. I would be glad to know your experiences with this laptop APUs on OpenBSD. I know that probably temperature and power usage will be higher than on other operating systems. If power consumption is higher not more than 30 -40% of consumption under Windows, it will go for shopping in coming weeks (I will have busy two weeks from now).
