AMD GFX1150 GPU Linux 6.7 Support
In an effort to introduce support for future RDNA architectures, AMD has begun to push out early RDNA 3.5 “GFX1150” GPU enablement in Linux 6.7.
Ahead of the Official Announcement, AMD RDNA 3.5 “GFX1150” GPU Support Is Now Available in Linux 6.7
According to Phoronix, Team Red has begun to deploy early patches for “GFX 1150” compatibility in Linux’s 6.7 kernel. This information comes from the website. Now, for the benefit of those who aren’t aware, GFX 1150 falls within the RDNA 3.5 category. This is more or less a mild refresh with a few efficiency enhancements and architectural modifications, and it will mostly be integrated in the next-generation Ryzen 8000 APUs, most notably the Strix Point series, which is scheduled for an introduction in 2024.
A prior leak about the AMD Strix Point APUs did disclose that the RDNA 3.5 “iGPU” will have a total of 16 compute units and 8 Work Group Processors, which will allow for up to 1024 stream processors. The clock speeds of the GFX1150 GPU were not supported by any evidence.
AMD GFX1150 Linux drivers
It has come to light that work on enabling the GFX1150 GPU with “RDNA 3.5” has already gotten under way, and the first set of “codes” has already been included into the kernel. Linux enablement for AMD isn’t nearly as challenging as it would be if it were a generational update; this is due to the fact that the number of individual modifications in the line has been significantly reduced. Once complete support for RDNA 3.5 is added to AMD’s RADV driver, the following is how the code components will look and function:
The rumors of a “refresh” have been put to rest as a result of AMD’s revelation that its initial RDNA 3 ASIC has been finished, despite the fact that the firm has not provided any information on the RDNA 3.5 update itself. However, AMD has stated that new products might be introduced based on the demands of the market; therefore, the possibility cannot be completely dismissed.
It is anticipated that the AMD Ryzen 8000 CPU and APU family would become available sometime in the year 2024. While the Ryzen 8000 APUs will have the higher-end integrated SKUs with multiple RDNA 3.5 compute units, the desktop CPUs will be limited to just 2-4 CUs like the previous generation of processors. This limitation will not change until the Ryzen 9 generation. Around the time of CES 2024, we should start to see a few components of next-generation families being introduced.
