So when Samsung says they are the first to support the Vulkan APIs, do they mean it's the same with the Exynos 8 octa as well? I was reading a blog on the Qualcomm website, and they mention that Adreno 530 is the first GPU to support these APIs, but support will arrive for the Adreno 4xx as well.

Now I'm wondering:
1. Will the Galaxy S6 range not get this support in future?
2. Once Qualcomm starts support for the 4xx series, will this need to be built into the OS to take advantage of?
3. The SD 810, whatever the heating issues or not, is still an excellent mobile gaming SoC. Will the OEMs and Google abandon the hardware of 2015?

Sorry I clearly don't understand how this all works. Any light on the matter would be very helpful.
