So I've been reading on the forums about the woeful Adreno and Mali drivers for Android devices. Apart from the drivers themselves, can someone ELI5 for me what benefits Vulkan 1.1 would offer for Dolphin on the upcoming Android P (9.0)? Are there any benefits feature-wise? And are performance improvements expected, or is the CPU overhead the bigger issue?

Nothing? We had one feature request for years, and we finally got it on Adreno with the Android 7 updates (an many devices). We are not affected by the Android version at all, neither do we use any feature of newer Vulkan versions.

Samsung exynos devices will probably get a good improvement thanks to EXT_buffer_storage support in opengl. If they implent it ofcourse.
