ROCm 6.4 software introduces the Instinct GPU Driver, a modular driver architecture that separates the kernel driver from ROCm user space.

They were doing this before, the difference with this is, the version of ROCm you use is locked to the driver versions that are supported, which is a very narrow range.

With this new thing, the backend API is now formalized and easier to support wider range of difference.
