I’ve been wondering if it has to do with ATIs amdgpu opensour e driver work

Intel announced new performance graphics parts on the way, they’ll be learning a lot from AMD and seems reasonable to say they’ll be leaning on amdgpu for these parts

If they’re quietly teaming up to support an open modern video driver architecture, that would help put pressure on nVidia. While historically the better performer, nVidia drivers can be fickle.

s/ATI/AMD/

ATI has been dead for 7 years, and part of AMD for 11.

I stil call it ATI by accident because that’s what it was during my formative years (middle school). Calling it “AMD” feels weird to me. It’s hard for people to learn a new word for something they already know.

Do what I do, I call AMD CPUs "AMD", but AMD GPUs "Radeon"; but never call Nvidia GeForces "GeForces", instead just referring to them as Nvidia.

So, it isn't unusual for me to say "Intel", "AMD", "Radeon", "Nvidia" during the course of a conversation. AMD ended up legitimizing what I do when they split Radeon off as its own company (ala HTX.org and GloFo).

They didn't make Radeon into its own company, in fact there are rumors Raja Koduri was butting heads with leadership over a desire to do just that. They split it into a separate group within the company just that's just playing with the org chart to change who you report to.

I feel the same way about calling Star Wars "Disney"
