    It's not merged, but the benchmarks are against upstream wine. Proton has hacks (fsync) that have almost identical performance uplift but were not suited to upstreaming.

    So basically this will improve "correctness" versus current Proton, not performance. Should fix some bugs and improve compatibility.

    Versus stock wine, it's a huge perf uplift though.

    Only thing I can find is this OS News article saying it should be in the 6.10 kernel

    I can not find any confirmation that it is.

    If you had read it you'd have answers to your questions.

    They are trying to merge it in 6.11 bit has to go through Greg and Torvalds himself. The benchmarks, once again, speed-reader, are on the article.

    Presumably they wanted something a bit more thorough and clear than a table of numbers with no information besides:

    These tests were done on various hardware running games, both old and new, with and without the new driver being active.
