AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" Performance With ROCm 7.0
Lastly I also ran some benchmarks of the Mixbench synthetic GPU benchmarks for comparing its OpenCL and ROCm back-ends with OpenCL provided by the rocm-opencl ROCm 7.0 package.
For the Mixbenc benchmarks, the OpenCL and ROCm HIP performance was very similar to one another as would be expected. Outside of the AI workloads, it's good seeing ROCm 7.0 behaving nicely on Strix Point both for HIP and OpenCL.
For Llama.cpp there still was the case of the Vulkan back-end outperforming for the ROCm HIP back-end on Strix Halo / Radeon 8060S Graphics. But in any case it was nice seeing ROCm 7.0 at least running smoothly on Strix Halo even with it still not appearing on the officially supported GPU list in the ROCm documentation.
