Why don't they just throw the towel and stop making GPUs?
>>
whenever you see a large entity doing aomething that doesnt make sense to you *breath* you have to remember that they are privy to more information than you.
>>
Even if their GPUs aren't suitable for hardcore gaming or AI, they're probably still profitable for things like built-in GPUs for laptops and mobile computers

I have used AMD gpus for over 15 years, they work fine.

>(AMD) owns the cpu and gpu technology which allows them to shuffle their internal R&D tech around to complement each others.
>(you) why didnt they just stop making gpu!!! they didnt benefit from this!!! nvidia is won!!!

they still have poverty gamers buying rx 580s in some ungrounded shack in asia

because the ftc will swoop in and break up nvidia
>>
>>106705295
Why would they when the MI355X beats the B200? AMD currently has the better technology, thanks to vertical stacking. It doesn't scale as good because NVLink is better, but 1vs1 GPU, AMD wins. Expect this technology in the next consumer GPUs btw.
>>
And let Nvidia monopoly and sell their cards 10 times the current price?

but their recent 16GB cards are a beacon of hope

Their margins are great so why stop?

>>106705295
I wouldn't really call shipping 500,000 GPUs a quarter compared to Nvidia shipping 10 million a quarter making GPUs. They are hardly even trying.
>>
>>106705295
because they make billions of dollars a year making GPUs
in fact most of their growth even in DC was because of GPUs despite epyc being the better, more competitive product
>>
>>106705295
They make a ton of GPUs for consoles, handhelds, and laptops, might as well sell some graphics cards with the same software for near Nvidia prices. Basically free money.
>>
Are you retarded? their integrated graphics, APUs on desktop and console sell 10x more than their dedicated units. They have no reason to stop that business just because you have gripes with the 8GB model you bought from them
>>
>>106705295
Their iGPUs are still good.

>>106705295
At least there's SOME competition against Nvidia.

udna is releasing next year and nvidia drivers are utter shit, especially with UE5 games. why should they throw in the towel when they are on the precipice of winning? people thought the same with AMD's cpu division until the release of ryzen, you will see the same events play out with their gpu division.

Most game studios that utilize UE5 target console 30 or 60 FPS and stop performance optimizations afterwards.
NVIDIA cards run fine on games that actually try to extract the most out of the hardware & driver.

The fact is that 5% of the GPU market is still enough to make a lot of money.
Why would they stop?

AMD fanboys writing fan fiction as usual.
NVIDIA's gaming segment posted higher revenues than AMD's entire client and gaming business last quarter.
That AMD client & gaming segment includes Ryzen, Threadripper, and "workstation AMD GPU" sales.

Not in 4 years they won't. And if they do, China will welcome them with open arms.

Unlike America, China is built entirely on pragmatism, not ideology, so they will be happy to support a company that will win them the AI race outright.

>>106705295
AMD didn't stop being competitive in consumer GPUs for no reason, they stopped being competitive because they have a monopoly in onboard graphics for prebuilt machines like game consoles.

They just don't fucking care about the consumer market. None of them do, it just so happens that NVIDIA is so far ahead in technology that developers want to develop for the pittances that NVIDIA puts out instead of "half the performance for half the price, which is still near a thousand dollars."
>>

The vast majority of productivity apps perform better with NVIDIA GPUs & CUDA.
Don't pull the productivity larp when you're shitposting in 4Chan like everyone else.

>>106707853
In what situations and contexts?
Proof?
>>
>>106707844
AMD "stopped being competitive" which is just your opinion, because they guessed wrong what would be the future. They thought that high frequency lower cores would be a thing, but Nvidia decided to go more features, lower frequency, more cores, and that's the trend. That's the reason why AMD is going UDNA, because there's no reason to split anymore, might as well streamline the whole thing since users now want compute, ray tracing, scaling, etc. which will allow AMD to only care about one architecture and advanced features like vertical stacking.
>>
>>106705854
this, fanboys are fucking stupid. I hate NVIDIA and Intel products compared to AMD but I don't want them to cease to exist. (Intel shit is buggy af, NVIDIA is anti-competitive constantly and uses 800W to do anything). AMD is going to stop innovating and become the next NVIDIA if there is no competition.
>>
>>106707853
What does productivity even mean? Some AI generated images? CUDA is better supported for sure but 99% of people don't use any of that. That trend is shrinking though. Today cross platform alternatives are being included as well.

Time is money; companies would rather pay the NVIDIA premium to have CUDA compatibility for their workstation PCs.
NVIDIA makes the fastest GPUs for content creation, computational science & modeling, & data analytics.

Autodesk CFD doesn't use your GPU for compute, it's CPU only retard. The only thing even close to that would be their XLB piece of shit, which isn't even a real product. BTW the difference between an 8 core CPU and a fucking GH200 (itself a whole other league from your consumer GPU) is an 8x speedup. You might have heard of CFD, but you clearly don't use it. Why go on the internet just to LARP and lie?
>>
>>106705295
no real competition. better than nvidia tel-aviv x and the chinese gpus still have a ways to go
>>
>>106707940
Companies don't do "productivity" though. That's a general vague term that Microsoft invented for office suits and today another vague term for things you do consumers do with applications. Companies do serious business, not "productivity".

As for your comment, no. Currently the MI355X is the fastest GPU in most scenarios and that's why some companies rather use AMD. In science Nvidia sucks, AMD has much better FP64 performance than Nvidia. However there are caveats. If you're already invested in CUDA you will continue using CUDA and if you want a big efficient rack Nvidia currently scales better with GB200 up to 72 GPUs while AMD can only do up to 8.

Pretty much you don't know what you're talking about and should stop pretending you do. Search more what companies are doing with GPUs and what are the strength of each.

That's all you need to know about the state of their data center GPUs.

If you're buying Nvidia shares or you're a gigantic fanboy, yes that's all you need to know. I'm betting you're a gigantic fanboy. This is not a fanboy zone though, you should go to redit. This is to discuss technology.
>>
>>106705295
Right when they're doing their best? Why?
>>
>>106705295
Because they're the best consumer-end GPU manufacturer? What else is there? The overpriced memeVidia? The non-existent Intelaviv?
>>
>>106708965
>This is to discuss technology.
NVLink and CUDA is technology, you can't wave those away like an AMD fanboy. And reality reflects that.
Not to mention those MI355X aren't getting past the evaluation stage of most companies.
You can't make excuses for NVLink and CUDA when those potential customers are waiting for next gen MI400 GPUs.
>>
AMD are utterly finished now that Intel have teamed up with Nvidia.
>>
>>106709159
You do realize that Intel has been collapsing for the past 5 years? This isn't a "team up" by any means, nVidia is trying to effectively own Intel.
>>

>>106709137
Those are not related to anything you said before, you're just gigantic fanboy.

RDNA4 is nice (at MSRP).
I'd rather support Intel though for a GPU. I'm getting into ROCm on linux, the Windows stuff still lags behind, less uptake on Windows too.
Apparently the B60 is silently releasing now, so I'll probably snag one this winter if I can for LLMs and maybe some imagegen stuff.

Optiscaler was nice on windows, but I noticed driver overhead in titles like FFXIV which kinda sucked, so a 9060 XT 16GB only performs slightly better than my 2070 super did in that title, but better in others.
I really need to try it on Linux, if I can get XIV setup to work with my gamepad.
>>
>>106705295
>Why don't they just throw the towel and stop making GPUs?
Because their GPU's are actually good albeit under appreciated. Meanwhile modern Nvidia makes over priced GPU's that catch fire and are a pain in the ass to make work both in Windows and Linux. Nvidia's only really got gAIy hype going for them.
