What the hell is the greater good here? I'm a researcher in a R1 university, I can quickly try stupid things on my personal 3080, then if it works I can virtually git clone the codes onto my lab's server and bam it chops through the problems. After a few weeks I'll get (hopefully) some publisable results that (hopefully) advance my field a little. Do you really expect most researchers to use half of their time debugging the unfinished ROCM stack that is just not there, sacrificing their output, and maybe even their tenure prospect? We love Nvidia solutions, at least in our field, not because it's a monopoly, but because it's actually the best solution right now.
- donor20 3y agoI really like that you can prototype on your own consumer level card - the rocm stack has not matched that historically and has over promised and underdelivered for years now.
- cyanydeez 3y agoIt's getting closer, and well, what matters is price points and what, billions of people crunching away on the various problems. There's huge momentum on the "user" side of the equation that just getting cheap hardware and passable performance means Nvidia losing dominance.
