AMD released ROCm 6.4, their open-source GPU computing platform, with several improvements but still missing official support for RDNA 4 graphics cards. The update makes ROCm libraries work better with the AMDKFD kernel driver across many Linux versions. AMD tested more combinations of software versions to help reduce problems when running advanced computing workloads.

The updated platform supports newer PyTorch versions 2.5 and 2.6 without requiring users to build from source code. It adds three specialized kernels for AI models that speed up training by combining multiple operations. Video features improved with VP9 format support and a new bitstream reader component that simplifies media processing workflows.

ROCm 6.4 officially works with Oracle Linux 9 and the Radeon PRO W7800 48 GB professional graphics card. Users report the software runs unofficially on new RX 9070 cards, but without formal support, their advanced features remain unused. Linux support remains limited to a few consumer Radeon models compared to the wider Windows coverage. Many developers hope for RDNA 4 announcements at AMD's AI event in June.
