Technically they didn’t specify that all Imagination GPUs support it, only “Imagination GPUs” plural. Could be as little as two.

In English in England, that sentence reads as meaning all Imagination GPUs. Were it less than all GPUs, one would expect “Some Imagination GPUs” or some other qualification.

The contrast between the two forms gives the impression of deceptive marketing. And that’s what it is.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
