WCCF Tech ☛ AMD RDNA 5 GPU Support Arrives In Linux With Over 12,600 Lines Of GFX13 Driver Code
AMD has submitted a substantial new batch of Linux kernel patches for its upcoming GFX13 graphics architecture, widely expected to power its next-generation RDNA 5 GPUs. The changes introduce foundational driver support for the new graphics core, following several months of development across other parts of AMD's open-source graphics software stack.

Video Cardz ☛ AMD RDNA 5 GFX13 graphics support arrives in Linux driver patches, two GPU targets listed
AMD has published a new series of Linux kernel patches introducing support for GFX13, the graphics architecture expected to power RDNA 5 GPUs. The patches were submitted by AMDGPU maintainer Alex Deucher on November 9. This is another step in preparing the open-source graphics driver for AMD’s next-generation hardware.
According to Phoronix, the submission consists of eight patches containing more than 12,600 lines of code, excluding the large register header files. The changes introduce support for Graphics Core 13.x, including two specific targets: GFX 13.0.1 and GFX 13.0.4. These versions indicate that AMD is preparing support for at least two graphics IP configurations, although they do not confirm individual GPU models.

PC Gamer ☛ AMD's next-gen GPU architecture has appeared in new Linux kernel patches as GFX13 updates roll out
AMD's next-gen graphics architecture has popped up in a graphics driver for the first time, with a suite of GFX13 patches going live in an AMDGPU Linux kernel graphics driver. This has first been reported by Michael Larabel at Phoronix, who spotted a series of eight patches being posted by AMDGPU maintainer, Alex Deucher.
The RDNA 4 GPUs, the Radeon RX 9070 XT et al, were all noted under the GFX12 codename in previous patches, so it is only natural to expect that GFX13 refers to the next generation of AMD graphics cards featuring the RDNA 5 architecture.

AMD's RDNA 5 Inches Closer as GFX13 Support Lands in Linux Driver Patches
AMD has begun integrating its next-generation graphics IP into the Linux kernel, releasing a series of eight patches that add GFX13 support to the open-source AMDGPU driver. These patches, submitted to the mailing list on November 9 by AMDGPU maintainer Alex Deucher, contain over 12,600 lines of code, excluding the typically large header files. GFX13 is anticipated to be the graphics core for RDNA 5, although AMD has not officially confirmed this connection. However, since GFX12 has been linked to RDNA 4, it is assumed that GFX13 is the correct codename for RDNA 5.
