My guess is it’s just incompetence. Imagine you’re in charge of ROCm and your boss asks you how it’s going. Do you say good things about your team and progress?

My guess is it’s just incompetence. Imagine you’re in charge of ROCm and your boss asks you how it’s going. Do you say good things about your team and progress? Do you highlight the successes and say how you can do all the major things CUDA can? I think many people would. Or do you say to your boss “the project I’m in charge of is a total disaster and we are a joke in the industry”? That’s a hard thing to say.
- throwawayrgb 6mo ago> My guess is it’s just incompetence. maybe on some level but not that level you're describing. pretty much everyone at AMD understands the situation, and has for a while.
- Shitty-kitty 6mo agoa 10 year lead can't be closed overnight but Intel had a even larger lead and look how the mighty have fallen.
- pjmlp 6mo agoIntel was never famous for good GPUs, and they are basically the only ones still trying to make something out of OpenCL, with most of the tooling going beyond what Khronos offers. one API is much more than a plain old SYCL distribution, and still.
- throwaway173738 6mo agoTry not to rely on Intel too much. They cut products with promise all the time because they miss quarterly numbers.
- Shitty-kitty 6mo agoI meant their CPU supremaciy. ;)
- pjmlp 6mo agoThat still reigns in PCs and servers. People like to talk about Apple CPUs, but keep forgetting they don't sell chips, and overall desktop market is around 10% world wide. ARM is mostly about phones and tablets, good luck finally getting those Windows ARM or GNU/Linux desktop cases or laptops. Servers, depends pretty much about which hyperscalers we are on. RISC-V is still to be seen, on the desktop, laptops and servers. Where AMD is doing great are game consoles.

- pjmlp 6mo agoInteresting information, that leaves desktop and laptop markets, where AMD still has adoption issues especially on laptops.
- wlesieutre 6mo agoBetween the MacBook Neo on the low end and Strix Halo on they high end Intel is in for some tougher laptop competition
- pjmlp 6mo agoOutside US, and countries with similar salary levels, people don't earn enough for Apple tax served with 8 GB.
- wlesieutre 6mo agoAlso on pace to drop below AMD on the Steam hardware survey this year
- Alupis 6mo agoI'd argue Intel fell is large part because of Intel's own complacency and incompetence. If Intel had taken AMD seriously, they'd probably still be a serious competitor today.
