Radeon instinct mi60 does not support windows

AMD recently announced the new Radeon Instinct MI60 graphics card, it is a computing processor for data centers that is based on a Vega 20 GPU, with hardware virtualization features. Now it has been known that this card only has support for Linux.

Radeon Instinct MI60 only supports Linux, at least for now

Radeon Instinct MI60 becomes the first graphics card worldwide to be based on silicon manufactured at 7nm. The company released the specs for the Vega 20 GPU, which contains 4, 096 shaders inside along with a 4096-bit HBM2 memory interface. The rest of its features include a clock speed for the GPU of 1800 MHz, a memory bandwidth of 1 TB / s, and a maximum precision of 7.4 TFLOP / s (FP64).

The GPU contains the same number of units as Vega 64 at 14nm, so the company has chosen to improve its performance by increasing the clock frequency. This will allow AMD to maintain a relatively small die size, so you can get more chips out of each silicon wafer, ergo will be able to sell your cards for a more aggressive price.

There is also another hidden trick, as the company is not releasing this accelerator with Windows support. At launch, AMD is only releasing x86-64 drivers for Linux, with API support for OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.0, and OpenCL 2.0, along with AMD's open ROCm ecosystem. The lack of a display connector already disqualifies this card for most workstation applications, but with the lack of Windows support it makes it the most expensive graphics card that Crysis cannot run.
