Welcome to the new AMDGPU thread. I’m your host, some loser who likes to read technical documents.
So the point of the thread originally was to track the come up of AMDGPU and track its progress of performance as it developed, including what cards were updated when and whatnot. Now, this thread is going to MOSTLY track Navi, however there have been GCN 1 developments recently and some work on laptops post GCN 1. Personally I want to know whats going on with the 9660P, but I doubt anyone else cares lol.
I’ll need some time to get back into the swing of this style of thread (get up, make coffee, work on thread), so do give me some time lol. I’m a bit busy sometimes, so if an article comes out and I miss it or you think something is important that was relatively recent, send it my way please!

-
Improved AMD Zen temperature/power reporting. The k10temp driver is now in good shape for reporting the temperatures and current/voltage readings on the AMD Zen/Zen+/Zen2 processors. I’ve partially been testing a lot of the processors and overall it’s a big improvement over the limited temperatures exposed before and no power information.
-
A fix so ASUS TUF laptops with AMD CPUs will stop overheating on Linux.
-
AMD Pollock support was sent in as part of the graphics changes.

" The AMD Navi OverDrive overclocking support via sysfs is similar to the existing OverDrive support for Vega, Polaris, and prior on AMDGPU. Besides setting the frequencies, the support does allow editing the voltage curve for Navi 10 too."
