AMD's latest commits to the LLVM GitHub repository include mentions of a new "GFX950" GPU—likely the firm's recently announced Instinct MI355X or the now-launched MI325X accelerators, per Phoronix. These patches push early enablement for the accelerators in LLVM - to better optimize the compiler back-end and improve software compatibility.
LLVM is a collection of modular tools and libraries that optimize code for specific hardware and architectures. It acts as a language-agnostic intermediary between high-level languages and machine code. AMD's latest commits to the LLVM repository feature a new GFX950 GPU. Going by Team Red's nomenclature, Phoronix suggests that this is likely the internal codename for the MI325X or MI350 (MI355X) accelerators - though the latter is more likely since the MI325X has been available since October.
