While the original changes aimed to reduce guest memory (Switch) allocations while copying data from guest to host (User's PC), the latest changes remove data copying entirely thereby resulting in nearly 10% performance boost in parts of `Super Mario Odyssey` like the Metro Kingdom area, and `Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition` reporting similar gains.

The most common case is Mali or Xclipse users trying to install custom drivers, a feature that is only available and possible to Adreno users, at least for now.

Not ending there, toast {{< gh-hovercard "11186" "fixed a memory leak with the new timezone data generator," >}} which happened when games tried to ask for timezone information too many times.
This was resolved by keeping track of the generated timezone binary instead of recreating it repeatedly.

Fast-forward to July, and it's still broken, for some.
Giving credit where due, AMD ***did*** fix this issue with driver version `23.7.2` but only for `RDNA2` GPUs (RX 6000 series), with `GCN4`, also known as `Polaris` (RX 400 and 500 series), confirmed to still be broken.

Behind the counter, there has been great progress in some key projects.
The last missing piece of `Project Y.F.C.` the `Query Cache Rewrite` was released, but we'll talk about it next time. We're sure Xenoblade and Luigi's Mansion fans will love it

And Maide has some interesting ideas to implement in the shader cache code.
That's all folks! Thank you for staying with us until the end. See ya next time!
