AMD Officially Bringing ROCm Support To RDNA 3 GPUs This Fall, Starting With Radeon RX 7900 XTX & Pro W7900
AMD has officially announced ROCm support for consumer Radeon "RDNA 3" GPUs such as the RX 7900 XTX & Pro W7900 coming this fall.
A few weeks back, we reported that AMD had plans to bring ROCm support to consumer-centric GPUs in its Radeon lineup. Now, the company has revealed its official plans in the new ROCm 5.6 support page which confirms that RDNA 3 GPUs such as the Radeon RX 7900 XTX & Radeon Pro W7900 are the first in line to get supported within ROCm with more graphics cards to be added later on. AMD has the following to say:
"We’ve also seen tremendous interest from developers wanting to run the ROCm open software platform for AI and ML on our Radeon consumer and Radeon Pro workstation GPUs and have heard the community challenges with specific driver issues on unsupported GPUs. I’m pleased to say that we have fixed the reported issues in ROCm 5.6 and we are committed to expanding our support going forward.
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. "
