# ROCm Core SDK 7.11.0 release notes ROCm Core SDK 7.11.0 continues the technology preview release stream that began with [ROCm 7.9.0](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/7.9.0-preview/about/release-notes.html), advancing the transition to the new [TheRock](https://github.com/rocm/therock) build and release system. To learn more about TheRock, see [ROCm Core SDK and TheRock Build System](https://rocm.blogs.amd.com/software-tools-optimization/therock/README.html). This release expands AMD GPU and APU support and adds more components to the ROCm Core SDK. Developers can expect a more consistent build experience and streamlined workflows that pave the way toward modular future ROCm releases planned for mid-2026. (preview-stream-note)= :::{important} ROCm 7.11.0 follows the [versioning discontinuity that began with 7.9.0](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/7.9.0-preview/about/release-notes.html#preview-stream-note) and remains separate from the 7.0 to 7.2 production releases. For the latest production stream release, see the [ROCm documentation](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/). Maintaining parallel release streams -- preview and production -- gives users ample time to evaluate and adopt the new build system and dependency changes. The technology preview stream is planned to continue through mid‑2026, after which it will replace the current production stream. ::: ## Release highlights ROCm Core SDK 7.11.0 with TheRock builds on the 7.10.0 release with several key enhancements: ### Expanded AMD GPU support The ROCm 7.11.0 preview adds support for RDNA 4 and other GPUs: - Radeon AI PRO R9700 - Radeon AI PRO R9600D - Radeon PRO W7900 Dual Slot - Radeon PRO V710 - Radeon RX 9070 XT - Radeon RX 9070 GRE - Radeon RX 9070 - Radeon RX 9060 XT LP - Radeon RX 9060 XT - Radeon RX 9060 - Radeon RX 7700 For the full list of supported hardware, see [Hardware support](#release-supported-hw). ### Expanded Linux distribution support ROCm 7.11.0 adds support for the following Linux distributions on AMD Instinct and Radeon GPUs. - Debian 13 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.4, 8.10 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 16.0 - Oracle Linux 10, 9, 8 - Rocky Linux 9 For the full list of supported Linux distributions, see [Operating system support](#release-supported-os). ### Added Linux package manager support ROCm Core SDK packages are now available in `.deb` and `.rpm` formats and can be installed using your Linux distro's package manager. See the {doc}`installation instructions ` for details. ### Added GPU virtualization support for Instinct GPUs ROCm 7.11.0 supports GPU virtualization on AMD Instinct MI355X, MI350X, MI325X, and MI300X GPUs. For details, see [GPU virtualization support](#release-virtualization-support). ### Added debugging tools to the ROCm Core SDK ROCm 7.11.0 adds the following debugging tools to the ROCm Core SDK on Linux: - [ROCdbgapi](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCdbgapi/tree/release/therock-7.11) - [ROCm Debugger (ROCgdb)](https://github.com/ROCm/ROCgdb/tree/release/therock-7.11) - [ROCr Debug Agent](https://github.com/ROCm/rocr_debug_agent/tree/release/therock-7.11) For the full list of core components, see [ROCm Core SDK components](release-components). ### Compatibility notices In terms of package compatibility, ROCm 7.11.0 diverges from the existing ROCm 7.0 production stream and future stable releases in that stream: * **Compute-focused**: ROCm 7.11.0 enables support for primarily compute workloads. Future releases will support mixed workloads (compute and graphics). If you’re interested in testing AMD Radeon GPUs with preview support for graphics use cases with AMD ROCm 7.11.0, install Radeon Software for Linux version 25.35 from [Linux Drivers for AMD Radeon and Radeon PRO Graphics](https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html). If you're interested in testing AMD Ryzen APUs with preview support for graphics use cases with AMD ROCm 7.11.0, use the inbox graphics drivers of Ubuntu 24.04.3. * **No upgrade path from existing production releases** including ROCm 7.2.0 and earlier, as well as from upcoming stable releases. See the [explanatory note](#preview-stream-note). * **Not intended for production workloads**: users running production environments should continue using the [ROCm 7.0 stream](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/). See the [explanatory note](#preview-stream-note). * **Not fully featured**: this release is a stepping stone toward fully open software development. * **Limited hardware support**: preview releases are only supported on some AMD Instinct GPUs, Radeon GPUs, and Ryzen APUs. See [Supported hardware and operating systems](#release-supported-hw). * **Software components**: additional components are planned to be introduced in future preview releases as part of the ROCm Core SDK. Other libraries and tools not included in the future Core SDK will either be: * Released as standalone project-specific packages, or * Grouped into domain-specific toolkits. (release-supported-hw)= ## Hardware support The following table lists supported AMD Instinct GPUs, Radeon GPUs, and Ryzen AI APUs. Each supported device is listed with its corresponding GPU microarchitecture and LLVM target. ::::{tab-set} :::{tab-item} Instinct :sync: instinct
