AMD is juicing up the AI-accelerated computing scene with the release of the ROCm 5.7 platform update.
Originally an exclusive club for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon PRO W7900 GPUs, the lineup finally welcomed the Radeon RX 7900 XT in order to lower the barrier for entry and let more people gain access to AI development without getting locked out.
Equipped with 20GB VRAM and 168 AI accelerators, the RDNA 3-based card offers the same training and inference power albeit at a lower rate compared to the top dog GPUs as expected but it is still great in the hands of those who know how to utilize them.
This piece of news is just happy messages all over the PyTorch community, particularly those running Team Red GPUs for their machine learning projects.
