You don’t really “tailor” hardware to Linux. You release a driver without a dumb binary blob requirement, or at least document your hardware enough for a kernel hacker to pick it up.
What you mean “you don’t tailor it to linux”. Sure you can. You can optimize hardware to take over certain tasks. There are entire chips out there made explicitly for certain workloads like encryption, neural networks, RAID, encoding, decoding, mining crypto, what have you. Do you really think there’s absolutely nothing in the linux kernel that couldn’t be optimized away into hardware?
They already did it.
They didn’t. They asked AMD to do it.
