AMD Releases ROCm 5.7 GPU Compute Stack

This is so incredibly disappointing.

I really want to support AMD, but they make it very hard to do so.

I agree.

RIP ROCm and AMD for GPU computing tasks.

Nvidia is very happy about this.

AMD should be renamed to Fake Promises Inc.

What do you say about this?

Anyone know if is still possible to install/tun ROCm 5.7 on Polaris GPU (500 series)?

At this point AMD should consider serious changes, including firing every single person in the decision making chain that is responsible for there not being day 1 support for new graphics cards.

I already bit the bullet and got a RTX 4090 despite at least the AMD graphics side of the drivers being vastly superior to Nvidia's, but no ML support is obviously a no-go.

I'll check back to reassess the situation in 5 years or so, but I wouldn't be surprised if the AMD situation still hasn't improved by then.

For Arch Linux I've updated opencl-amd and opencl-amd-dev packages to 5.7 version. I've also included hipTensor that looks to be missing from the Ubuntu release. But I believe only CDNA is supported.

AMD has also announced end-of-support for the AMD Instinct MI50 accelerator while not yet formally announcing any new RDNA3 GPU support...
