Devs who do not have these in their workstations will not be experimenting on rented VMs, unless it is company infra. Dunno why Radeon cards aren't the focus instead of these MI variant

AMD is slowly but surely expanding support for Radeon cards. It's not as extensive as Nvidia, but it is improving. ROCm supports RDNA2 now and RDNA3 support is coming this fall.

Nvidia making the decision 15 years ago to implement and support CUDA on anything with Nvidia stamped on it was brilliant.

Which is funny because it’s so obvious.

Imagine buying a CPU from a vendor, trying to run an application on it, and then finding out “oh I needed to get the blah blah blah x variant”.

Ridiculous, right? That’s AMD GPU, even before you get to the disaster that is their software.

You said it supports rdna2 but the fine print is only two workstation cards.
