AMD HIP/ROCm support is there but AMD still hasn't released drivers supporting it.

Funny -- going on a decade ago, Blender had OpenCL support, but the AMD drivers were so bad that OpenCL support was only usable on NVidia cards. Still not as good as CUDA, though. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

AMD Blog: "Our AMD Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 21.12.1 or Radeon PRO Software for Enterprise 21.Q4 (or newer) drivers are required to use Cycles in Blender 3.0. Support is currently validated on AMD Radeon PRO W6800 and AMD Radeon RX 6000 series desktop GPUs and enabled on other AMD RDNA™ and AMD RDNA 2 architecture graphics cards." https://community.amd.com/t5/radeon-pro-graphics/blender-3-0...
