AMD GFX1250 Support Starts Being Built Up Within LLVM


Over the past three days the new AMD 'GFX1250' GPU target has started being built out within the upstream LLVM compiler codebase for the AMDGPU LLVM shader compiler back-end.

In fact, as part of the newly committed code to LLVM indicates that AMD GFX1250 is indeed for APUs as opposed to discrete GPUs: It's been just a few days with many more patches expected so over the coming weeks we'll see more how this AMD GFX1250 compiler target is built-out and ultimately how it differs from the existing GFX1200 / RDNA4 support. In any event nice seeing the open-source driver support continuing to come early from AMD.
