When I packaged the ROCm libraries that shipped in the Ubuntu 24.04 universe repository, I built and tested them with almost every discrete AMD GPU architecture from Vega to CDNA 2 and RDNA 3 (plus a few APUs). None of that is officially supported by AMD, but it is supported by me on a volunteer basis (for whatever that is worth).

I think that every library required to build cupy is available in the universe repositories, though I've never tried building it myself.

to be clear, you're saying that ROCm works on a much larger range of GPUs than AMD's official support list? that's pretty exciting!

Yes. The primary difference in the support matrix is that all discrete RDNA 1 and RDNA 2 GPUs are enabled on in the Debian packages [1]. There is also Fiji / Polaris support enabled in the Debian packages, although there are a lot of bugs with those.
