AMD Pro W7xxx series is out folks!
« on: August 04, 2023, 07:29:22 pm »
The RDNA3-based Pro mid range GPU from AMD has been announced.

Both W7500 and W7600 can do AV1 encode/decode and are certified to run pro apps.

I am eyeing the W7500 as it does not require additional power draw. Plus it is a single slot
profile so it might just fit it my tight computer case.

The only thing I am unsure is how well amdgpu in Linux 6.4 or 6.5 supports Navi 33

Even if amd64 amdgpu supports it, ppc64le might not. That was a big problem with Navi 2x, and even after 23 was enabled 22 and 21 weren't necessarily, at least not in 2022 they weren't -- they might be now. Still, it seems pretty exciting and I bet both are a good experience. Love how powerful they both are for a single slot card, though, and hopefully there's even a 7-class card in single slot one day.
