You know what IS ridiculous is that people are willing to go assembly but still do not use AMD gpus despite the price difference.

- jiggawatts 2y agoWhat is really ridiculous is the astonishing inability of AMD to pivot and start fixing the software stack. It’s been years, and they’re doing… what exactly to catch up?
- jitl 2y agoI still think it’s a good investment.
- danpalmer 2y agoThere are already open stacks out there that help. The problem is that Nvidia provide a full stack option: chips, networking, and software, whereas AMD only provide the chips, you then need another company's networking, and then you need to plug together open source software. I'd also bet that if you buy enough of the Nvidia chips, they'll probably send in a bunch of engineers to get everything working with their full stack. AMD won't be able to do that in the same way because they're not vertically integrated.
- icelancer 2y ago> networking Yep. The interconnect is the most overlooked part of the stack.
- kristjansson 2y agoWriting a few intrinsics where necessary is not really comparable to the work required do reimplement something like CUDA on AMD (or equivalently deal with ROCm)
- whimsicalism 2y agoamd has revealed itself to be surprisingly poorly run. aren’t APIs no longer copyrightable? they should just have reimplemented cuda with their backend
