Sure enough, yesterday’s inaugural TheRock 7.10 release tag ended up being a precursor to ROCm 7.10 as predicted in the earlier article. Overnight ROCm 7.10 was released as a new developer preview and with it comes expanded hardware support — including for Ryzen AI 300 Strix Point APUs finally being officially mentioned.
Back in October was ROCm 7.9 as the start of a new developer/technology preview series not to be confused with the current ROCm 7.1 series and ROCm 7.2 as presumably the next stable series. ROCm 7.9+ is forging ahead with TheRock build system adoption and other big changes in working toward what will presumably become ROCm 8.0 stable in the future. Overnight ROCm 7.10 is out as the newest technology preview.
Most exciting with ROCm 7.10 is expanded hardware support. Some previously-dropped older Instinct products have been restored to a supported state with ROCm 7.10. Vairous AMD Ryzen AI 300 series APUs have also been added to the “supported” list even with much of the functionality working previously in an unofficial manner with prior ROCm 7.x/6.x releases.
The expanded hardware support notes:
– Instinct MI250X
– Instinct MI250
– Instinct MI210
– Radeon PRO W7900D
– Radeon PRO W7900
– Radeon PRO W7800 48GB
– Radeon PRO W7800
– Radeon PRO W7700
– Radeon RX 7900 XTX
– Radeon RX 7900 XT
– Radeon RX 7900 GRE
– Radeon RX 7800 XT
– Radeon RX 7700 XT
– Ryzen AI 9 HX 375
– Ryzen AI 9 HX 370
– Ryzen AI 9 365
Many of the Radeon (PRO) products previously worked fine with ROCm at least for common usage but nice to see the list expanding as well as bringing back some older Instinct models. Oddly though the latest Radeon RX 9000 series products aren’t officially listed yet for ROCm.
ROCm 7.10 also supports the newest Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise releases. ROCm 7.10 additionally introduces a SPIRV-LLVM-Translator, hipSPARSELt, and various other library updates.
