From 4chan:
It's the real deal. The dump contains, among others:
The current driver source.
Future driver source including unreleased ada and hopper codenames, the unannounced blackwell codename, all 3 of them are chiplet based and heavily riscv internally for the supporting processors (PM, decoding, encoding, and so on).
Production and debug firmwares for everything. This would make nouveau work on latest GPUs, but it won't happen due to licensing issues.
CUDA + every library, compiler and tool, including the enterprise ones, sources.
The toolchain is very flexible, supports multiple GCC and MSVC versions, with a bit of work that would possibly mean supporting newer GPUs on older Windows versions in some fashion.
This dumps gives us insight into the upcoming 5 years of GPU releases as well.
The only thing that is saving nvidia right now is that the actual GPU chip schematics haven't leaked... yet.
It's unfortunate that none of this will make its way into Nouveau, but at least we got some interesting information out of it.
Edit: Apparently there's a DX12 for Windows 7 DLL (from Microsoft) in there...with a PDB (and nothing was stripped!). What a find.
Absolutely bonkers that this happened. China must be over the goddamn moon, and if the RTLs and such are out there... Oof. Tons of amazing learning resources I imagine in the drivers, but I'm very...
Absolutely bonkers that this happened. China must be over the goddamn moon, and if the RTLs and such are out there... Oof.
Tons of amazing learning resources I imagine in the drivers, but I'm very hesitant to go looking. I should stick to Samsung's recent GPU related source code from some of the new Chromebooks.
My understanding is that similar to Nintendo's Gigaleak, there's not a lot that can be legitimately utilized without poisoning the entire project. Still between this and the GeForce Now leak,...

China tho? They’re likely way less concerned with such issues…
