Years ago AMD was almost bankrupt and put everything into one last attempt at a CPU. Now AMD is hiring like crazy, and I hope they are able to catch up to their larger competitors in tooling and software. Here's what I think they'll do for the near future. They can't build an all-encompassing library ecosystem that supports all the hardware, all the existing software, has really good tooling, etc. in a reasonable amount of time. In consumer they can mostly get away with just supporting Microsoft's APIs, which they already do pretty well. If they design a really good compute GPU, they probably won't be able to make enough of them. They can sell all of their production with a few big deals to important customers, and they can attach engineers to those deals to help support the specific needs of those customers. That is much more practical than trying to catch up to CUDA in its entirety. Basically, status quo. As someone who isn't a big customer and who is mad at Nvidia I don't hope for this to happen, but it seems the most likely path.
