On Friday, AMD submitted another set of patches for its AMDGPU kernel graphics driver and AMDKFD kernel compute driver. These driver improvements have been queued in DRM-Next, a staging area for kernel graphics updates, ahead of the upcoming Linux 6.20~7.0 kernel cycle. This kernel development cycle is expected to kick off in February. The updates signify continued progress in AMD's open-source Linux driver stack, refining support for both graphics rendering and GPU compute offloading on AMD hardware platforms.
