AMD May Bring ROCm Support On Windows Operating System As AMD’s Vice President Nods For It

AMD is working to expand its ROCm software stack support from Linux to Windows, with confirmation from Vice President of AI Software, Anush Elangovan, that the company is looking to broaden support for additional GPUs on Windows. Currently, ROCm support on Windows is limited to select AMD Instinct GPUs and a few Radeon GPUs, including the RX 7900 XT and XTX, leaving many users with newer RX 9000 series GPUs unsupported. The latest version for Windows is 6.2.4, but users have reported issues such as crashes and driver timeouts. AMD's potential support for RDNA 4 GPUs could benefit deep-learning tasks for Windows users. Additionally, tinygrad will receive two MI300X boxes from AMD to enhance its AI solutions.
