Back at CES earlier this month AMD talked up features of the ROCm 7.2 release. ROCm 7.2 though wasn’t actually released then, at least not for Linux. That ROCm 7.2.0 release though was pushed out today as the latest improvement to this open-source AMD GPU compute stack and officially extending the support to more Radeon graphics cards.
ROCm 7.2 officially now supports the AMD Radeon AI PRO R9600D and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP RDNA4 graphics cards. The AMD Radeon AI PRO R9600D was quietly launched last month as a cut-down version of the Radeon AI PRO R9700 with 3072 stream processors while having 32GB of GDDR6 video memory and a 150 Watt board power rating.
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is a low-power RDNA4 graphics card with 32 compute units / 32 ray accelerators, 64 AI accelerators, 16GB of GDDR6 video memory, and up to a 140 Watt board power rating.
Beyond these two RDNA4 graphics cards added to the official support matrix with ROCm 7.2, the ROCm 7.2 release also (finally) adds proper support for the RDNA3-based Radeon RX 7700 series. ROCm 7.2 also brings official Instinct MI350X / MI355X support to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP7.
ROCm 7.2 also introduces node power management for multi-GPU nodes, model optimizations for the Instinct MI300X and MI350 series, various HIP runtime performance improvements, new HIP APIs, SPIR-V support for hipCUB and rocThrust, and ROCm Simulation as a new toolkit designed for physics-based and numerical simulations. ROCm Optiq is also new as a next-gen visualization platform.
ROCm Optiq is in beta and this visualization platform is supported on both Windows and Linux. ROCm Optiq appears focused on providing a GUI for in-depth visualization of GPU traces from ROCm profiling tools.
