AMD has begun upstreaming Linux kernel patches for its next-generation GPU IP blocks, reports Phoronix. Such uploads typically indicate the start of enablement for a new GPU architecture, but in this particular case, the GFXHUB 12.1 may point to support of the CDNA5 architecture that powers the company's next-generation Instinct MI430 and MI450-series accelerators for HPC and AI workloads. There is a chance that we are dealing with AMD's next-generation integrated GPU, however.
The list of GPU IP blocks for which AMD adds hardware enablement includes PSP 15.0.8 (platform security), IH 7.1 (interrupt handler), MMHUB 4.2 (graphics IP), GFXHUB 12.1 (GPU IP), and GMC 12.1 (graphics and memory controller).
