When looking at the AMD Radeon 8060S Graphics performance with the amd64v3 built Mesa packages and other components, in some games there were slight advantages to it over the amd64 default.
But for many of the graphics tests the benefits were extremely small or just not there out of amd64v3.
GLmark2 as obtained from the Ubuntu archive for benefiting from both the app and the underlying graphics driver stack being amd64v3-optimized showed some nice benefits from these alternative Ubuntu Linux packages. Notable as well is not seeing any power consumption increase out of using amd64v3 packages.
