Hi team,

Is the latest kenrel linux-4.18.0-372.26.1.el8_6 has fully supports Intel AMX? or
Which Rocky kernel version will fully support Intel AMX?
Could you share the current status?

Thanks

What is AMX? What would it be used for?

It’s supported in kernel 5.16 and higher. Therefore for Rocky 8 or Rocky 9 you can use elrepo-kernel and install kernel-ml package, which is kernel 6.x. So kernel less than 5.16 does not support it.
