Although the new 7950X3D isn't able to outright dominate the competing Intel i9-13900K, pretty much like what leaked performance benchmarks had suggested, the driver however helps AMD completely outdo Intel in terms of performance-per-watt and efficiency, consuming nearly half the power while delivering similar levels of performance. The new CPUs required these optimizations due to the approach AMD took while designing these X3D processors. Expect a bit more AMD Radeon graphics driver feature work to still be sent out in the next few weeks for the Linux 6.3 cycle.AMD recently released a major chipset driver for Windows 11/10, which brought performance optimization for Ryzen CPUs, specifically for the newly launched 7000X3D processors. The full list of AMDGPU Direct Rendering Manager driver feature patches can be found via this pull request. The work isn't particularly exciting on their own but going along with all of the other work AMD has been making on their kernel graphics driver support. Additionally, there is a new user-space API addition around information queries for being able to read the peak and minimum shader and memory clocks for profile modes with newer Radeon GPUs.įor the most part though the new work in this patch series is a collection of lower-level enhancements/additions for newer graphics hardware. The work around DisplayPort 2.1 is also noteworthy. With Friday's pull request they have enabled secure display now for multiple displays, updates to the Display Core Next (DCN) v3.2 IP, Panel Self Refresh (PSR) updates, DisplayPort 2.1 updates, various SR-IOV RAS changes, Video Core Next RAS support, SMU 13.x updates for new hardware, DF 4.3 RAS support, reworking the s0ix sleep states code, a fix for soft-reset handling, display fixes, and various other low-level updates.įor some users the secure display support across multiple monitors may be of interest as up to now this functionality only worked with a single display. Even though the Radeon RX 7900 series cards are now shipping, there is no let-up of work to still accomplish by their open-source graphics driver engineers. This initial round of new feature code for Linux 6.3 contains a variety of updates and preparation for new hardware that AMD engineers have been working on. AMD sent out an initial batch of "new stuff" for their AMDGPU/AMDKFD kernel graphics driver code to begin queuing in DRM-Next ahead of the Linux 6.3 cycle kicking off during the back-half of February.
