I think AMDs current issue is they are resource constrained due to Ai hype in the data center. Least that's the only explanation I can think of as to why they basically skimped out on a generation that should be an easy win for them in virtually every area under a 4090. I don't think the industry was prepared for the Ai boom to come so quickly and because of this, AMD and Intel are trying to play catch up against Nvidia in the datacenter.

You look at something like ROCm for CDNA. For like the past decade or so, that software stack has largely been a shit pickle that barely worked properly. In the past year or so, the advancements have been so quick that while it hasn't caught up to Nvidia's software stack quite yet, it is at a point where you could use it and it is competitively good enough as long as you are using it with CDNA chips. AMDs and Intels presentations over the last year has largely been about Ai as well similar to Nvidia. You don't hear it quite as much as with Nvidia because Nvidia loves their Ai in the gaming space with DLSS, VSR, etc while Radeon has largely ignored Ai in gaming but in the datacenter, they have been getting increasingly focused on it and rightfully so. That along with continued advancements in Epyc to make sure Intel isn't catching up anytime soon means that something has gotta give.

And what gave is Radeon. I think Radeon is waving the white flag this generation and not fighting at all really because AMD needs to catch up in Ai against Nvidia in the datacenter space. MI300X is going to come out like next year while H100s have been selling in droves this year. Nvidia's roadmap says they will be releasing next generation of their datacenter GPUs next year so Radeon needs to start advancing quickly in that space. But in gaming it's a stark contrast to RDNA 2 and RDNA 1 where they were very competitive in their respective categories in gaming space.
