swiftshader
SwiftShader is a high-performance CPU-based implementation of the Vulkan graphics API. Its goal is to provide hardware independence for advanced 3D graphics. (by google)

WebGPU Technical Report
Is it really true that those bugs aren't getting fixed? There's a commit from July 18th to SwiftShader that seems to be addressing exactly the bug described in the blog post:

Vulkan drivers for 7 year old PC?
If your GPU does not support Vulkan you can still do some experimenting with a CPU renderer. I've used swiftshader a lot, it's a bit of a pain to compile, but once you manage to do so you can compile and run Vulkan code almost the same as if you had a compatible GPU. The performance of course is not great, but it's better than nothing.

is makeing Vulkan guis worth it?
You also don't get extensive support for various hardware for free – good luck running a Vulkan GUI on a pre-GCN AMD card or a sufficiently old NVIDIA one without a compatibility layer of sorts, which would require bothering with Vulkan Portability (i.e. missing certain Vulkan features due to it being implemented via an older API). The only alternative to that is SwiftShader (which would throw your extremely fast GUI aspirations right outta the window).

With the induction of UE5’s integrated real-time lighting system (Lumen); if developers begin utilizing this technology, and Epic optimizes its CPU performance, do you think it will replace ray-tracing? Should AMD keep chasing this feature?
That's like saying no one needs a GPU anymore because Swiftshader exists.

WebGL 2.0 is Now Supported in All Major Browsers
Yeah, there's still a fallback option through the use of Swiftshader if GPU accelerated vulkan isn't an option. If you use Vulkan for GUI, then it'll be fine to use Swiftshader, but if you're trying to play a game on Swiftshader, it'll likely struggle and probably fail.
