In my experience, if commercial products involved any sort of hand-optimized, proprietary OpenCL, one would be shocked by the lack of documentation and zero consistency across AMD's GPUs. Intel has SPIRV and Nvidia has PTX and this works pretty well. But some AMD cards support SPIR or SPIRV, and some don't and this support matrix keeps changing over time without a single source of truth. Throw in random segfaults inside AMD's OpenCL implementation and you have a fun day debugging! Dockerizing OpenCL on AMD is another nightmare I don't want to get into. Intel is literally installing the compute runtime and mapping `/dev/dri` inside the container. On paper, AMD has the same process but in reality I had to run `LD_DEBUG=binding` so many times just to figure out why AMD runtime breaks inside docker. There may be great upsides to AMD's hardware in other domains though
