Thunderbolt 1 & 2 are PCIe Gen2 based. * AMD Carizo based APU have limited support due to OEM & ODM's Carizo enabled Laptop, All In One System and Desktop system had inconsistency in supporting the correct System BIOS configurations for ROCm driver enablement. Before you buy a Carizo system to run ROCm. You should check the SBIOS to see if has an option to enable IOMMUv2. If this is enabled, next we need test for the correct CRAT Table support to properly configure the driver. #### Potential Future APU Support
