AMD - Where does their hardware stand in the race for ML? What changes would AMD need to make to be competitive?

Their hardware is fine. Their software is starting to get good too now. They're finishing MIOpen, a set of CUDA compatible libraries with which you can use Tensorflow (TF uses the builtin CUDA libs too, not only CUDA itself, as does CNTK). ROCm provides a CUDA implementation for AMD systems.
Their hardware doesn't have the equivalent of a tensor core as far as I know, so they would be way behind on these benchmarks.
