 ### Llama.cpp + SYCL
 
-The llama.cpp SYCL backend is mainly designed to support **Intel GPUs**.
-Based on the cross-platform feature of SYCL, it also supports Nvidia GPUs, with very limited support for AMD.

+1. FP16 is recommended for better prompt processing performance on quantized models. Performance is equivalent in text generation but set `GGML_SYCL_F16=OFF` if you are experiencing issues with FP16 builds.
