The AI engines on these chips are derived from the Xilinx AIE / AIE-ML cores. The Xilinx aiecompiler only runs on Linux - which is special because, aside from aiecompiler, basically all of the Xilinx tools work on both Windows and Linux. In contrast the Ryzen AI stuff is more consumer focused. And 99% of consumers are using Windows. Having Linux support would be nice, but it totally makes sense that they would implement it on Windows first and prioritize that. Linux probably isn't worth it aside from for developer mindshare. And I say this as someone who's been using desktop Linux for over a decade.
