Amazingly it hasn’t gotten much better.
I give ROCm a spin roughly once a year and shake my head. I’m hoping Intel can actually get their act together on the software side because Nvidia needs meaningful competition and I think at this point it’s clear AMD either doesn’t care or doesn’t have the ability. There’s just no other explanation for the state of ROCm at this point.
For any application other than hobbyists (per usual) time/people/opportunity cost is the most expensive thing. One of the many reasons Nvidia is so dominant in this space is because you can take any card that says “Nvidia” on it from the last half-decade, install the driver, and run nearly anything with a docker command. In minutes.
As soon as your (very expensive) team starts spending time messing around with ROCm issues at every turn you’ll be happy to throw out AMD and pay the “Nvidia tax” - because it’s actually a dividend given the persistent state of ROCm.
Come on Intel/Apple, save us from the Nvidia monopoly!!!
