+          BLIS, available through the attribute

-          The AMD BLIS library, with attribute <literal>amd-blis</literal>,
-          provides a BLAS implementation. The complementary AMD LIBFLAME

-          a LAPACK implementation.
+          The AMD fork of the BLIS library, with attribute
+          <literal>amd-blis</literal>, extends BLIS with optimizations for
+          modern AMD CPUs. The changes are usually submitted to
+          the upstream BLIS project after some time. However, AMD BLIS
+          typically provides some performance improvements on AMD Zen CPUs.
