Dave Airlie has been working on an open source AMD Vulkan driver and he's ready to show it off a little bit.
The brand new AMD RX 480 seems to have an issue of drawing too much power through the pci-e port, so you may want to hold off on buying one of the first lot for now.
AMD have released a nice video talking about Vulkan (and DirectX 12), it's also nice to hear Linux & SteamOS mentioned.
The next generation of AMD GPU's have launched, and it begins with the AMD RX 480. Benchmarks are now out there along with plenty of info.
AMD are doing something pretty amazing, they will be doing a reddit AMA with the chance of anyone who comments to win one of fourteen of their brand new RX 480 graphics cards.
Probably one of the more interesting releases of SteamOS recently. SteamOS 2.80 is now in beta which brings with it some fun changes for AMD GPU users.

While AMD may not have a Linux driver ready for Vulkan, they are still getting me excited about it with their blog posts.
AMD are doing some good work around Vulkan, and another blog post highlighting features has arrived. This time they are covering Vulkan Renderpasses.
Considering AMD are in the middle of producing a brand new driver for Linux, it's not surprising they don't have Vulkan ready for Linux right from day one. Still, a shame for anyone on AMD hoping to test things out.
