AMD is going to Skip new Feature Support for RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 starting AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2

For non-german readers: The german online Computer Magazine "computerbase" has an article (references the original information from PCGH) which mentions that AMD will drop "Feature Support" for RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 GPU Architectures starting with AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.10.2. They will only receive updates for critical or security related issues. Also no Game specific patches/fixes.

I think this is a very customer un-friendly decision. Especially regarding the Handheld market with the "new" Ryzen Z2 GO and Ryzen Z2 A processors. They are (for example) used in

  • Lenovo Legion Go S
  • ROG Xbox Ally

Especially the ROG Xbox Ally released just 2 weeks ago and it will not receive GPU feature updates. What a big downside....
