### Support Status

- ✅: **Supported** - AMD enables these GPUs in our software distributions for
  the corresponding ROCm product.
- ⚠️: **Deprecated** - Support will be removed in a future release.
- ❌: **Unsupported** - This configuration is not enabled in our software
  distributions.

## CPU Support

ROCm requires CPUs that support PCIe™ Atomics. Modern CPUs after the release of
1st generation AMD Zen CPU and Intel™ Haswell support PCIe Atomics.
