Partly. AMD's HIP SDK for Windows "provides a subset of the ROCm platform to Microsoft Windows", not the full stack that runs on Linux.

What the Windows SDK covers

AMD's Windows documentation describes the HIP SDK as the AMD GPU driver, the HIP runtime and HIP libraries, with Visual Studio Code integration and standalone compilers, profilers and debuggers. It is meant for developers building applications in the HIP language.

The system requirements page, which AMD marks as legacy documentation, lists Windows 11 on x86-64. Its supported hardware tables cover Radeon PRO, Radeon and Ryzen AI parts. Instinct data-center accelerators do not appear in them, and the page states that "if a GPU is not listed on this table, it is not officially supported by AMD."

Where AI work happens

AMD Instinct accelerators are used from Linux, where the full stack lives. See what ROCm is for the stack and PyTorch support on Instinct for the framework side. The wider field is covered in NVIDIA's main competitors in AI.
