x86 CPUs arrive in a software marketplace with tons of compatible software available for them. AMD GPUs are at an enormous disadvantage without support for Cuda or some equivalent, or even some hint to developers about what they should be programming to (is it still OpenCL?) They necessarily have to sell at a huge discount or datacenter providers won’t even pick up the phone when they call.
