> Their fancy new neural processing unit is Windows-only, tied in with a Microsoft framework, and they don't seem to have any kind of definite plan for supporting it elsewhere. So there's quite possibly no single OS where all the hardware that theoretically could be used for machine learning and AI in these chips actually has even vaguely functioning code that works on that OS to make it work that way. What they did was embed their Vitis IP in their CPUs. Those IP modules have been available in ASIC accelerator cards from AMD or their Xilinx FPGA offerings for a while now and have Linux support. So they are releasing these APUs (which are primarily focused at a windows audience) with Windows support via ONNX. And then once there are chips in circulation, AMD can get Linux Vitis support for these chips set up with members of the Linux community being able to review and validate those patchsets.
