The 7k series is the target generation for HIPS which is the compatibility layer between ROCm and CUDA. All the prior hardware in the consumer space is pretty much a different company and thing. The 7k stuff is like a takeover/bridge for the enterprise stuff.
This is mostly only relevant for stuff like AI, where access to the API is important. It is similar in relevance and scope to how Nvidia open sourced the kernel side drivers for its hardware, but the user space graphics drivers remain proprietary. For the most part, it is likely irrelevant to gaming other than being the next generation. It will likely remain supported for far longer overall because of the restructuring on the development side.
