AMD adds GDDR7 memory support to open-source Linux GPU drivers

AMD has submitted patches to its open-source Linux kernel driver adding GDDR7 memory identification along with new IP blocks including IH 8.0 and NBIF 7.10, according to Phoronix. Current Radeon RX 9000-series cards use GDDR6, making this the clearest driver-level sign yet of preparation for a next-generation GPU architecture, widely expected to be RDNA 5.
