The issue is less the chips themselves and more AMD's ability to compete against CUDA for dev mind share

Why does MI300X not already satisfy this?

@osmarks It is still a little early to know if it will gain a competitive market share against NVIDIA H100

@osmarks With that being said, it is a really strong contender

@ManuelAngelSuarezAlvarez so wait, are you looking for a product to be competitive in terms of technology, or market share? I agree the mi300x should satisfy the question as written, though it's understandable to wait until release and third party benchmarks etc

@Tomoffer market share, on the other hand, is down to all sorts of weirdness like "relationships" and "marketing"

@Tomoffer oh and there's a reason George Hotz is putting AMD in tiny boxes, that's a different card and a different possible YES justification

@ManuelAngelSuarezAlvarez How much market share would it need? Like @gpuk says in the other comment thread, my understanding is that in terms of raw flops AMD is competitive with Nvidia, but that no-one uses AMD chips for AI training or data centers because AMD doesn't have anything competitive with CUDA.

@MichaelWheatley fwiw my personal, relatively-casual-so-far experience is that ROCm with torch "just works" 🤷‍♂️
