AMD's OpenCL driver is significantly worse than NVIDIA's since ages afaik...

  Yep, this has been true for many years. Hopefully now that AMD has money they can turn things around. As much as it pains me to admit, giving up on OpenCL and focusing on the CUDA clone is probably the correct strategic move. OpenCL is just far too different to facilitate porting, and there's a lot of porting to do before AMD can start to take compute marketshare.

    It isn't because it further fragments the market. Now you have Nvidia CUDA, AMD "CUDA", Intel oneAPI. At least Intel is building their oneAPI on top of OpenCL via SYCL which means all AMD has to do is implement a bunch of Intel's OpenCL extensions, which are far from unreasonable (for example, unified shared memory which should have been in OpenCL 2.x instead of shared virtual memory).
