One year ago the #Framework13 AMD Ryzen 300 AI series got released. It has a neural processing unit (NPU).

Unless you compile your own kernel and a bunch of modules and toolchains the NPU hardware is still unusable on any Linux distribution out there.

One year later and there are zero end users on that NPU on Linux. It's dead hardware.

When (if at all) it's integrated smoothly, the NPU hardware will be outdated hardware.

#AMD 🤝 #Framework that's what Linux-first looks like? 💩🏆

The AMD Ryzen AI NPU is from the AMD #Xilinx acquisition a few years ago.

Fascinating to see how hardware companies can't do software, and how software companies can't do hardware.

These two just don't go together.

@djh "software companies cannot do Hardware and vice versa": wouldn't sign that TBH. Intel was, at least until recently, very good in OSS and their Hardware wasn't bad.
