Huge news for AMD fans and those who are hoping to see a real* open alternative to CUDA that isn’t OpenCL!

*: Intel doesn’t count, they still have to get their shit together in rendering things correctly with their GPUs.

We plan to expand ROCm support from the currently supported AMD RDNA 2 workstation GPUs: the Radeon Pro v620 and w6800 to select AMD RDNA 3 workstation and consumer GPUs. Formal support for RDNA 3-based GPUs on Linux is planned to begin rolling out this fall, starting with the 48GB Radeon PRO W7900 and the 24GB Radeon RX 7900 XTX, with additional cards and expanded capabilities to be released over time.
