Following the AMDVLK 2024.Q3.1 driver release from earlier in the month, AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 is now available as the latest update to this official open-source AMD Radeon Vulkan driver for Linux systems.

AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 brings initial support for Strix Point "Strix 1" graphics. The new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series laptop SoCs boast RDNA3.5 integrated graphics as a nice boost and power efficiency improvement over prior RDNA3 integrated graphics. Strix Point / Strix 1 should now be good to use with the AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 diver release.

AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 also has further shader performance tuning for Valve's Counter-Strike 2 game. There is also a new performance optimization for the int16-vec4 test within the VkPeak benchmark. Other AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 driver work includes updating against the Vulkan API 1.3.293 headers, adding VK_KHR_maintenance7 extension support, and a few other bug fixes.

The new AMDVLK driver release can be downloaded from GitHub either as the source code or Ubuntu and RHEL binaries.
