When AMD moved on from its GCN microarchitecture back in 2019, the company decided to split its new graphics microarchitecture into two different designs, with RDNA designed to power gaming graphics products for the consumer market while the CDNA architecture was designed specifically to cater to compute-centric AI and HPC workloads in the data center.

I wonder if CDNA will be more akin to Tensor Cores on RTX GPUs, leading to better ray tracing performance of gaming.

CDNA is actually DNA made using RNA as a template. Very important for the viral ecosystem.

Don’t forget mRNA in the process!

AmidFuror ,

Could be mRNA. Could be gRNA. But I think this article wants them in all caps.

Fucking do it. Anything that takes down Nvidia’s CUDA Monopoly has my full support.

As a general rule, don’t use a corporations language. Languages, and their reference implementation, should be truly independent.

This checks out after what they recently did to the ZLUDA project. As an owner of an AMD gpu I agree that ROCM support is really bad. It works half of the time and fairly poorly.

Anything to help them take on Nvidia and stay competitive is a good move. However, I wish they would also announce a recommitment to driver and software stability. I had to move to Nvidia for my workstation rig after having constant stability issues with numerous AMD cards across multiple builds. I can handle a few rough edges or performance that isn’t top-of-the-line but I can’t put up with constant crashes ad driver timeout errors. It’s annoying in games and devastating when I’m working.

I wish their GPU line received even a portion of the polish and care that their CPU line did.

Damn, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. I had to move away from a 1080 Ti that I was having constant instability with, even after I went back to the retailer and got a new card.

Unfortunately at the time, AMD didn’t have anything performance competitive. But it was worth the downgrade for the better drivers.

Was it the card or was it something else? Any chance you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU?

TheGrandNagus ,

It was the card, and nah, it long predates 13th/14th gen.

As a Linux user, I had to trade in my Nvidia laptop for one with an AMD GPU due to how unstable the Nvidia drivers were and how many problems they were giving me. With the AMD laptop, I have had zero issues.

Squish them like bug. Show me you can do it, AMD.

AMD seems to be doing great: seekingalpha.com/…/4718576-amd-stock-ai-accelerat…

Down 6% YTD and a market cap of 1/12 of their only competitor isn’t “doing great.”

  • AMD’s Data Center revenue surged 115% YoY in Q2 2024, driven by Instinct MI300 AI accelerators and EPYC processors, leading to raised revenue guidance and a BUY rating.
  • Client segment revenue grew 49% YoY, fueled by strong Ryzen processor demand and Zen 5 sales, prompting an increased revenue forecast for 2024 and 2025.
  • Gaming segment revenue fell 59% YoY due to weak console demand, resulting in a lowered revenue forecast for this segment through 2025.
  • AMD’s acquisitions of Silo AI and ZT Systems aim to strengthen its AI and data center market position, enhancing long-term growth prospects.

Did you even read it?

Firstly, Nvidia isn’t AMD’s only competitor.

Secondly, only looking at the stock price and treating that as gospel shouldn’t be how you’re assessing whether a company is doing well or not.

GameStop stock exploded, it wasn’t because they were doing well. Nvidia became the most valuable company on earth by market cap - do you really think they’re that valuable? Tesla stock went crazy because Elon kept chatting nonsense about how all their cars would be driverless by 2018. Etc.

The stock market is not rational. Don’t judge the health of a company purely based on their stock price.

Well, it’s accountwalled so no.

Additionally, holy shit my dude. Nice work being Exhibit 1A as to why retail investors and common folk shouldn’t be allowed to speak about the stock market, corporate valuation, or business finances generally.

Can't take an L and reevaluate or something? Why this response to a pretty reasonable rebuttal of your surface take?

TheGrandNagus ,

The irony of saying that when you think the be-all and end-all of how good a business is doing is looking at its stock price this year.

If only it were that simple.
