Long story short, given the recent compiles for other architectures, I'm asking if the libraries can also be compiled for GFX1013.
GFX1013 is the Oberon chip used in the PS5, but it is also used in the AMD BC-250, a somewhat specialized APU made from defective PS5 parts. They have a CPU/GPU with 16GB of RAM split 8/8, and are more or less on performance parity with a 6700XT.
While they have no drivers available for download, they are supported in the AMDGPU stack on linux, and historicly were used for mining, so their compute should be intact. These days, they are horrible for mining, and can be had very very cheap on the used market; a dozen for <$300 is not uncommon. They would however make nice cheap experimentation boxes for AI, if ROCm is able to function.
I have these cards to test with, as well as at least one with a shroud and supporting hardware that could be shipped for testing if needed.

According to ROCm docs, they would use the same compute instructions as RDNA1/GFX10.1 (IE, a 5700XT);
