AMD investors must be salivating at taking some of that market share

  AMD should have laid the groundwork a decade ago, instead they basically gave up. Who needs GPGPU anyway, right?

      That is great, did someone ask the programmers about it though? Or did someone else see the higher FLOPs per dollar and bought in? If your job is literally programming a supercomputer and you can get AMD to fix stuff for you, maybe it aint so bad. That is not where most software comes from though.

        It creates demand for the software to be fixed though, helping with the chicken/egg

        That's why I'm building my own AMD supercomputer, for rent. Let's build the developer flywheel!
