This is the best summary I could come up with:
With the newest AMD Ryzen 7040 series laptops there is "Ryzen AI" as a dedicated AI engine based on Xilinx IP to help accelerate machine learning with the likes of PyTorch and TensorFlow.
Sadly though this Ryzen AI with their new Zen 4 laptops is only supported under Microsoft Windows at this point.
Back in June I pointed out that AMD had some Ryzen AI demo code on GitHub, some of which was open-source but in any event was Windows only.
Following that summer article, this GitHub ticket was opened over Linux support, only for the issue to be closed three days later without any resolution or Linux support plans communicated.
So if you are interested in seeing Ryzen AI support for Linux, let them know in this GitHub ticket.
Given the ever increasing AI workloads and that Intel already mainlined their open-source Meteor Lake VPU/NPU support back in Linux 6.3 and even already upstreamed their next-gen NPU support to be found in Arrow Lake, hopefully AMD gets a start on enabling Ryzen AI for Linux.For my own curiosity sake, here's also a poll on Twitter/X: Do you want to see Ryzen AI support on Linux?— Phoronix (@phoronix) October 20, 2023
