AMD is fighting against the hacker who stole and posted Navi and Arden source code using DMCA notices. AMD has filed at least two DMCA notices against Github repos that carried "stolen" source code relating to AMD's Navi and Arden GPUs, the latter being the processor for the upcoming Xbox Series X.

The hacker who posted the code said it was a taster so that he can flog the rest of it. The hacker told TorrentFreak that if she doesn't get a buyer for the remainder of the code, she will dump the whole lot online.

In July 2019, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, AMD released its Radeon RX 5000 series powered by ‘Navi’ GPUs.

In a DMCA notice sent to development platform Github, AMD identified the recently created ‘xxXsoullessXxx’ repository and a project titled “AMD-navi-GPU-HARDWARE-SOURCE” as the location of its “stolen” intellectual property.

“This repository contains intellectual property owned by and stolen from AMD”, the semiconductor company wrote. “The original IP is held privately and was stolen from AMD.”

Github responded by immediately taking the repository down, as per AMD’s request. That prompted TorrentFreak to try and find the person behind the repo and to ask some questions about what AMD was trying to suppress.

The individual informed TorrentFreak that AMD’s GPU source code was the content in question.
