May 11, 2024 – Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has added more than 20,000 lines of code to its Linux drivers to make them work with its new RDNA 4 GPUs⁴.
The Update for the Linux Driver
There are now almost 20,000 lines of code for “AMD GFX12 Mesa support” in AMD’s Linux drivers‴. There’s a good chance that RDNA 4 will be out soon after this huge update.
What Happened to the Release of RDNA 4
GFX12 or RDNA 4 kernel driver support is a clear sign that work is going well on a next-generation Radeon release this year . We might see a big reveal at Computex 2024 in the next few weeks, depending on when everything happens.
What RDNA Could Do 4
If the price is right, the Radeon RX 8800 XT could really compete with the famous GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER². This is because ray-tracing will get a lot better and the GPU will run faster.
Bottom Line
The important update to AMD’s Linux drivers for its future RDNA 4 GPUs is a big step forward for the business⁹. It will be interesting to see how this move affects the GPU market and the tech industry as a whole as AMD keeps coming up with new ideas.
