Well, sure the application specific IP is always going to be more performant. But on a pinch, shader ALUs can do tensor processing just fine. But without a proper software stack, the presence of tensor cores is irrelevant ;-)
This. AMD struggles with making drivers that don’t crash or get you VAC banned. They’re going to have to clear that bar before they can really start competing
AMD is better than Intel on both gpu and cpu front lol. Not sure what you are on.
Idd I think AMD has solid gpu products last decade. Had several AMD gpus just as nvidia. Just because nvidia has been ahead last 3 years doesn’t invalidate AMD. Its competition and as long as they offer decent performance for the price ppl will buy it. RDNA2/3 was definitely not bad architectures - the main gap atm is upscalers and framegen but that is also reflected in the price nvidia sells for.
They don’t even need to make dedicated tensor units, since programmable shaders already have the necessary ALU functionality.
The main issue for AMD is their software, not their hardware per se.
Nah, throughput of tensor cores is far to high to compete against

Those VAC bans really kinda sum the lack of ability with AMD’s software. AMD can’t ship fluid frames without literally getting you banned.
Stop for a moment and think about this, AMD can’t even catch up to nvidia/intel much less be at the forefront.
Really, AMD only exists so nvidia doesn’t charge $2k for a 4090… so uh thanks AMD for being a joke of a competitor but saving me $400

Lol this sub just has it out for RTG for a few months now. The most ridiculous takes get upvoted.
WTF are you talking about, what Intel GPU is better than AMD? No one is buying Intel’s trash video cards. Also the 7800X3D is the fastest gaming chip.
