I just updated about an hour ago from 6.3.4 . Since I installed with the official Ubuntu packages updating was as easy as it gets.
Just got a core 26 to boot.

I read about it at Phoronix of course.

No official 9070 support.

Don't expect any miracles from it either. Plus, word of advice, do not update to latest and greatest in the future. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I'm looking to see if those 2 projects in the other thread return to normal TPF. I don't care about new card support.I'd need mesa 25 and other frankenstein os stuff I'm done with that
I'm rocking a card that is still currently supported across multiple iterations of Rocm, an Officially supported OS with Ubuntu specific packages.
Plus I've been dealing with AMD cards on Linux since the FGLRX days so all I can say is,

Allons-y

They won't. Opencl within rocm is dead

According to what lars is showing thats is a 120% increase in PPD

BTW Core 26 completed in 1 1/2 hours with a TPF or 54 seconds

Core26 fixes issues with the project, not rocm related

Results are looking promising so far took the best of the 3 I had folded earlier others were closer to 3.34 tpf with rocm 6.3.4

What OpenCL driver version is fahclient reporting with new rocm?
It should say something like 3625.0

Posted: **Sat Apr 12, 2025 12:01 pm**

Driver Version 3649.0 (HSA1.1,LC)

Ok, so the single person still looking after opencl actually is still looking after opencl

Haha yep 6.4 is a refactoring not every wu so far has shown improvement. All the cruft they did away with makes it so that I'm using the same setting that I do under windows. I'm sure the new microcode on the amdgpu side has something to do with it.
Still waiting to get Projects 18238 18251..very curious to see if those are back to normal.

This is similar to what I was always getting on that card on Windows with that project

Posted: **Tue Apr 15, 2025 5:22 am**

For Debian 12, should this be as simple as adding this to the sources to extend the guide ultimate v8 guide, just replacing the 6.3.4 with 6.4?
