I was in Gray Scott School for HPC last week, and even in scientific usage, CPU-only cases, AMD is still a pain point. Many tools and libraries don't have first class AMD support or any support at all.

It loses to Intel in CPU, and NVIDIA in GPU, in case of scientific libraries and HPC-worthy libs, tools.

I think people who want an "AI Dev Kit" will lean towards Intel + NVIDIA setup.

I am not a fan of Intel, but their MKL, MPI, etc. are not paralleled. Same goes for CUDA with NVIDIA.

Not really, their CPU market share has dropped in the last decade.

I spoke in the context of supercomputer clusters, and usage in scientific HPC.
