In other news, we may have found AMD response to Nvidia's DLSS or, at least, the hardware for it:

AMD files a new patent for a chiplet-based Machine Learning Accelerator design
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/amd-files-a-new-patent-for-a-chiplet-based-machine-learning-accelerator-design/
It appears that AMD has recently filed and published a new patent titled “Chiplet-integrated Machine Learning Accelerators”, in which techniques for performing machine learning operations are outlined. AMD describes what the company calls a new MLA (Machine Learning Accelerator) chiplet design.

The patent application is for a machine-learning chiplet, which is going to be integrated into a package coupled with GPU cores as well as the cache, in order to create an “APD” or Accelerated Processing Device in AMD’s terminology. GPU cores here might refer to the upcoming RDNA 3 architecture, and the cache unit most likely being a version of AMD’s Infinity Cache design, if taken as an example.

It's either for that, or for AI for the compute variants of their cards.

Yea, RDNA3 is more realistically when I'd expect AMD to actually start competing against Nvidia with the more next gen features like Ray Tracing and DLSS. Hopefully this accelerator does come to their consumer chips and they make software for it as well.

If the patent only came out now, then it's probably way too late for RDNA3, which should be close to tape-out by now. Unless of course it's been a while since AMD applied for that patent, then it's quite possible to be part of RDNA3.
