Following the [1]AMDVLK 2024.Q3.1 driver release from earlier in the month, AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 is now available as the latest update to this official open-source AMD Radeon Vulkan driver for Linux systems.

AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 brings initial support for Strix Point "Strix 1" graphics. The new AMD Ryzen AI 300 series laptop SoCs boast [2]RDNA3.5 integrated graphics as a nice boost and power efficiency improvement over prior RDNA3 integrated graphics. Strix Point / Strix 1 should now be good to use with the AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 diver release.

AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 also has further shader performance tuning for Valve's Counter-Strike 2 game. There is also a new performance optimization for the int16-vec4 test within the VkPeak benchmark. Other AMDVLK 2024.Q3.2 driver work includes updating against the Vulkan API 1.3.293 headers, adding VK_KHR_maintenance7 extension support, and a few other bug fixes.

The new AMDVLK driver release can be downloaded from [3]GitHub either as the source code or Ubuntu and RHEL binaries.
