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....

You could have linked any of the english articles that clearly say it is only Windows that is not getting any new features in the driver updates. Linux is unaffected by AMD's Windows driver decisions.
