AMD hardware works fine, the problem is that the major research projects everyone copies are all developed specifically for Nvidia. Now AMD is spinning up CUDA compatibility layer after CUDA compatibility layer. It's like trying to beat Windows by building another ReactOS/Wine. It's an approach doomed to fail unless AMD somehow manages to gain vastly more resources than the competition. Apple's NPU may not be very powerful, but many models have been altered specifically to run on them, making their NPUs vastly more useful than most equivalently powerful iGPUs. AMD doesn't have that just yet, they're always catching up. It'll be interesting to see what Qualcomm will do to get developers to make use of their NPUs on the new laptop chips.
