AMD released a new version of their proprietary drivers for GPUs on Linux.

"Introduces Large Page Support for Blockchain Compute Workloads. This driver is provided as a beta level support driver which should be considered "as is" and will not be supported with further updates, upgrades or bug fixes. This driver is not intended for graphics or gaming workloads."

It appears this drivers concentrates on features for blockchain computer workloads. And as they say, it isn't intended for gaming workloads, for that you'd use MESA, the open source drivers.
