AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Linux GPU Compute Performance
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 series was looking very good with some of the OpenCL micro-benchmarks but in other areas less competitive against NVIDIA and in other cases clearly just needing more driver/software optimization work for the new RDNA4 hardware.
It's too bad that the Radeon RX 9070 series wasn't working with the likes of the Blender 4.3 HIP back-end. In any event I will have more benchmarks as the Linux driver support evolves for the Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards.
Stay tuned to Phoronix as we learn more about the official ROCm support status for the Radeon RX 9070 series as well as watching the open-source Linux driver support for the RDNA4 GPUs mature. At least there is some level of ROCm and OpenCL compute support for launch-day on Linux with the Radeon RX 9070 series but still it's clear there is more work needed.
