Probably because they want people to buy the W/MI series cards instead. Though looking around you can get an MI60 on ebay for $500, seems really good for 32gb

Probably because they want people to buy the W/MI series cards instead. Though looking around you can get an MI60 on ebay for $500, seems really good for 32gb and still seems to be supported by rocm (as it's just an MI50 with more hbm). Looks to be the cheapest way of getting a GPU with that region of memory support, though things like FP16 speed and BF support suffers compared to later generations. Though from what I've seen most "home" ML tasks are often memory limited pretty hard before ALU limitations kick in. And no idea if a home user would be able to use the IF links either for helping multi-gpu either.
