Don't underestimate the amount of shit people would be willing to deal with to make stuff work.

A capable GPU with 24+ GB would sell if it significantly undercuts Nvidia. Just look at geohot building his tinyboxes with AMD cards.

I would personally love that project but there are already so many versioning issues in the space it would be a nightmare if ROCm randomly broke things all the time.
I agree, ROCm seems to be a mess from the outside, but I'm glad people are putting in the effort.
And we're talking about Intel here. AMD is going to price competitively against Nvidia but they'd still rather you buy a $20,000 MI300 than a hypothetical 128GB Radeon for $2000.

Intel could very easily just put a buttload of VRAM on their existing GPUs to stick it to their competitors and make out like bandits. All they'd have to do is charge a Big markup instead of an Enterprise markup. And Intel has a better history of not making broken libraries.
