π mem_info_vram_vendor π
okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one sysfs file, no cap π«Ά
The amdgpu driver ships a sysfs API for reporting the vendor of the VRAM you've got installed β like, whoever made your memory chips, it spills the tea β¨
The file that does this is called mem_info_vram_vendor, and what it gives you back is the name of the vendor. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one file, one job, iconic behavior honestly π
fr fr don't overthink it β you read the file, it tells you the vendor, you go about your day π¦
