AMD starts the ball rolling for GDDR7 in next-gen GPUs with small code adjustment in its Linux drivers
My money is still on RDNA 5 launching by the end of next year.
AMD has introduced the first indications of GDDR7 support in its Linux drivers for the upcoming generation of GPUs, according to recent patches filed for Linux. A single line in the AMDGPU driver code addition signals this development, in line with expectations. The current 9000 series employs GDDR6, while Nvidia has already transitioned to GDDR7 with the RTX 50-series. Despite the ongoing memory crisis, it appears highly probable that AMD will also adopt GDDR7 for its next-gen GPUs.
