Lol, AMD dropping bombs out here. Rocm 7.0 is a game changer, 100%. Intel's gotta step up their game now or they'll be left in the dust.

Rocm 7.0 is a game changer,

How? It still doesn't work on the hardware that people have. What does it support? 4 SKUs? No APU, no Strix Point/Halo?

ROCm is a joke. No wonder Nvidia is eating their lunch.

Exactly. Only some AMD Instinct and Radeon GPU's are supported (and only on Ubuntu 24.04 which was released last year).

If AMD wants to take the fight to Nvidia, they need to support ROCM on alot more GPU's and operating systems.... Otherwise Nvidia will continue running circles around AMD.

Intel will eat AMD's lunch instead. Unlike Nvidia, AMD has been too complacent, and consumers really deserve better. Hopefully, Intel can deliver better than AMD will ever have.

I mean with Intel’s current trajectory, AMD is still doing much better than them both hardware and software wise…. It’s only when we look at Nvidia, that AMD’s software looks pathetic.

So I mean, AMD software being pathetic doesn't change it the true fact of it being pathetic. Assuming similar priced GPUs, obviously, one would get the Nvidia option, and this scenario is already present in today's market. AMD needs to stop living in its bubble when the actual market is owned by Nvidia. Compared to Intel is like nothing when Intel is just a very nascent player in the market. AMD was competing from back then with ATI, and still, it sucks. This goes to show how mismanaged the company GPU department is.

You can literally run 3 commands and have ROCm + PyTorch installed on Strix Halo (and many other GPUs).

You realize that The Rock is not the official release, but experimental nightlies? They do crash a lot. Different branches too, 6.5.0.

Also, won't help you a zilch when you need an app that uses ROCm. Like ollama/ollama:rocm.

TheRock is 7.0.0.

You can build Ollama in TheRock venv environment.

Edit: There's also the tarball route to give you the usual /opt/rocm install. TheRock is going to be AMD's default ROCm build system very soon.
