My guess is it’s just incompetence. Imagine you’re in charge of ROCm and your boss asks you how it’s going. Do you say good things about your team and progress? Do you highlight the successes and say how you can do all the major things CUDA can? I think many people would. Or do you say to your boss “the project I’m in charge of is a total disaster and we are a joke in the industry”? That’s a hard thing to say.

a 10 year lead can't be closed overnight but Intel had a even larger lead and look how the mighty have fallen.

Intel was never famous for good GPUs, and they are basically the only ones still trying to make something out of OpenCL, with most of the tooling going beyond what Khronos offers.

one API is much more than a plain old SYCL distribution, and still.

I meant their CPU supremaciy. ;)

That still reigns in PCs and servers.

People like to talk about Apple CPUs, but keep forgetting they don't sell chips, and overall desktop market is around 10% world wide.

ARM is mostly about phones and tablets, good luck finally getting those Windows ARM or GNU/Linux desktop cases or laptops.

Servers, depends pretty much about which hyperscalers we are on.

RISC-V is still to be seen, on the desktop, laptops and servers.

Where AMD is doing great are game consoles.

Intel still has 60% server market share but it is in free fall https://wccftech.com/intel-server-client-cpu-market-share-hu...

Also on pace to drop below AMD on the Steam hardware survey this year

Interesting information, that leaves desktop and laptop markets, where AMD still has adoption issues especially on laptops.

Try not to rely on Intel too much. They cut products with promise all the time because they miss quarterly numbers.

[Alupis]

I'd argue Intel fell is large part because of Intel's own complacency and incompetence. If Intel had taken AMD seriously, they'd probably still be a serious competitor today.

> My guess is it’s just incompetence.

maybe on some level but not that level you're describing. pretty much everyone at AMD understands the situation, and has for a while.
