AMD has sent out their initial pull request of “new stuff” for their AMDGPU kernel graphics driver and AMDKFD compute driver of feature additions they want to make for the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel. Most notable from this week’s submission to DRM-Next is preparing a lot of new GPU hardware support.
This week’s pull request includes enabling a lot of new IP blocks as part of their bring-up for upcoming GPU models. As has been the case in recent years with their IP-based discovery and versioning each of the IP blocks independently, it’s difficult to determine for precisely which hardware products these blocks will be used for. But among them are adding new GC 11.5.2 and GC 11.5.3 support in Linux 6.15. GC 11.5 is for RDNA3.5 so presumably some additional AMD APUs coming…
