Phoronix reported this morning that a further 17 PCI IDs for AMD RDNA 2 GPUs together with Navi 21, Navi 22 & Navi 23 have been added to the Linux kernel graphics driver. The explanation for the addition of those seventeen PCI IDs is unknown, however it’s odd as a result of a lot of PCI IDs already in earlier patches and would possibly trace that AMD is readying both a refresh of its present merchandise for subsequent yr or these are merely customized designs for companions.
AMD Navi 21, Navi 22, Nav 23 RDNA 2 GPUs Recieve 17 Model New PCI IDs Hinting At A Doable 6nm Refresh
Does this result in a chance of extra RDNA2 graphics playing cards being launched by AMD? It does result in a considerable amount of hypothesis, however it’s famous that corporations do put aside a bunch of IDs that may very well be used for “engineering fashions,” which might be added for future fashions which have but to be launched, and even related IDs for related fashions. The opposite possibility may very well be custom-made variations that had been made for AMD’s giant line of companions.
The IDs add 5 Sienna Cichlid, 5 Navy Flounder, and 7 Dimgrey Cavefish PCI IDs.
- Sienna Cichlid (0x73A5, 0x73A8, 0x73A9, 0x73AC, 0x73AD)
- Navy Flounder (0x73DA, 0x73DB, 0x73DC, 0x73DD, 0x73DE)
- Dimgrey Cavefish (0x73E8, 0x73E9, 0x73EA, 0x73EB, 0x73EC, 0x73ED, 0x73EF)
Rogame additionally believes that these PCI IDs for particular fashions which may very well be for PRO & particular GPU variants.

PS: Ignore the GDDR6/HBM2 insanity 😅
Each Navi2x has two id ranges, the primary is often professional or particular sku and the second is client.

May there presumably be a refresh of RDNA2s, the Navi 22, 23, and 24 GPUs from AMD that might launch along with the brand new Navi 3X RDNA3 traces? Once more, the solutions are merely unknown in the mean time. It was beforehand rumored that AMD is planning to solely launch three Navi 3X GPUs together with a refresh of AMD’s present graphics card traces using an optimized 6nm course of node.
Proper now, we do not need sufficient particulars to assemble something however rumors and hypothesis. The brand new AMD Navi 3X traces ought to begin to seem inside the subsequent yr, and if a refresh on RDNA 2 GPUs is to occur, it will likely be throughout 2022.
If you’re in want of the brand new AMDGPU graphics kernel for Linux, please seek advice from the Radeon™ Software for Linux® 20.45 Release Notes page on AMD’s web site that not solely has the hyperlinks for the kernel downloads but in addition the best way to examine your system to see you probably have the brand new Linux drivers or the best way to forestall the most recent improve to your system.
