The AMD Driver Thread

All I see on tech sys admin sites is things breaking when updates trickle out. Not good, they need to go for a stable waypoint instead of using us as beta testers.

They used to do that and everyone complained that they didn't release often enough. If you want stable, stay with the recommended/WHQL release, if you want the latest, go with the optional release.

Gpu scheduling is coming. Just no support in amd drivers vs intel and nvidia for this feature for now it seems.

I'm curious, At the bottom it says -

According to Windows 10’s lifecycle fact sheet page, support for version 2004 will end on December 14, 2021

I'm wondering if that will be the end of Windows 10 or just the date version 2004 will be replaced by 2005+ etc...

It's just when support for that version is planned to end. If Win10 was being replaced by the end of next year we'd already know about it. I also expect there will be three more 'big' updates to Win10 by then.
2020 H2, 2021 H1 and 2021 H2 updates if the last few years have been anything to go by.

You can see here that several of the previous versions of Win10 are still currently supported...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet

will be the same for this.
 
Win 10 is the last version of windows, there will never be win 11 for example. Its just considered a service now and that win 10 will be updated every few years to a new build version but still called win 10. So yeah the support of this build coming has a support expire date even tho the new build of 10 will continue on just with a new build number.

Doubt that, at some point they will introduce a new version, right now that may be their way of thinking but things can change.
