The supported ROCm version is 4.0 which only the latest AMD instinct supports it. There's still a long way before its supported in the latest consumer RDNA 2 GPUs ( RX 6000 series )
Lack of ROCm support in consumer RDNA 2 GPUs really makes it impossible for regular people to use ROCm. As an owner of an AMD Radeon RX 6800 I'm pretty salty about it.
They're actively refusing to comment on 5000-series.

This is pretty neat since it is the first time in years that a top-tier deep learning framework has official support for any training accelerator with open source kernel drivers. I guess the TPU also doesn't require kernel drivers because you talk to it over network instead of PCIE. But you cannot buy a TPU, only the int8 edge TPU is for sale. (And I've heard that the edge TPU's are absolutely top-notch for performan…
I believe TensorFlow is a top-tier deep learning framework, and it had ROCm support since 2018. > edge TPU's are absolutely top-notch for performance per $ and Watt right now Do you mean "aren't"? The performance per $ and Watt is not awesome even when it was released, I was hoping for great toolchain support but that also didn't happen.

Now that major frameworks finally started supporting ROCm, AMD has half-abandoned it (IIRC the last consumer cards supported were the Vega ones, cards from 2 generations ago). I hope this will change.

Oh oof. Thanks for saving me time not having to look up ROCm benchmarks. I find it really surprising they they don't wanna compete on performance/$ at all by not supporting consumer cards
