AMD merged a new "gfx1250-strict" GPU target into the LLVM compiler back-end, extending existing GFX1250 support used by the Instinct MI450 series accelerators.
The strict target variant gives compiler developers finer-grained control over code generation for MI450 hardware, which can affect optimization and correctness trade-offs in toolchains targeting these accelerators.

AMD merged the "gfx1250-strict" target into the AMDGPU LLVM compiler back-end yesterday.
The GFX1250 IP powers the Instinct MI450 series accelerators.
GFX1250 support has existed in the Linux kernel and AMDGPU LLVM back-end for approximately a year; the strict variant is a new addition.
