AMD has officially launched ROCm 6.4.4, a significant update to its open-source software stack that, for the first time, brings preview support for PyTorch on the Windows operating system.
This release marks a major expansion of the ROCm platform, enabling local machine learning development and inference directly on consumer AMD hardware, offering a powerful and cost-effective alternative to cloud-based solutions.
Key Features of the ROCm 6.4.4 Update
The core focus of the 6.4.4 release is platform expansion, specifically targeting users on Windows and those utilizing AMD’s integrated processors:
| Hardware | Operating System | Supported Framework | Status in ROCm 6.4.4 |
| Radeon™ GPUs (9000 & select 7000 Series) | Windows® | PyTorch | Preview Support |
| Ryzen™ APUs (AI Max 300 Series & select AI 300 Series) | Linux® & Windows® | PyTorch | Preview Support |
The ROCm stack is the foundation for both desktop development on RDNA™ architecture GPUs and AMD Instinct™ accelerators in the datacenter, providing developers with a unified, open-source platform for seamless application migration and scaling.
