🚀 Unlocking AI Potential with ROCm 7.0 on AMD Ryzen AI Max “Strix Halo”!
Last week, ROCm 7.0 launched quietly, omitting the Strix Halo SoCs from its supported GPU list. Curious minds from the tech community wondered if they’d function with this new release.
I explored this using:
- Framework Desktop: AMD Ryzen AI Max 395 with Radeon 8060S Graphics
- Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
- Kernel: Linux 6.14
📈 Benchmarks Conducted:
- AI Tools: vLLM, Llama.cpp with Vulkan vs. ROCm back-ends
- Performance Tests: Mixbench for HIP vs. OpenCL benchmarks
Findings: ROCm 7.0 works seamlessly with the Strix Halo setup, defying initial expectations.
💡 Key Takeaway: Don’t overlook the capabilities of Strix Halo!
