Also this. $AMD still makes it explicit that they officially support Rocm only on CDNA GPUs, and even then it's only under Linux. That's an immediate turn off for lots of beginner GPGPU programmers who'll immediately flock to CUDA as it works with any not too old gaming GPU from Nvidia. It's astonishing how Lisa Su still hasn't realized the gravity of this blunder.

I agree with you both that until small academic labs are able to use entry level GPUs for research, there will not be a mass adoption.

Saying that though, it's nice to see AMD trying. The monopoly is extremely unhealthy.

Maybe it was intended to keep AMD on a different path than NVIDIA. It looks incredibly stupid not to hop on the AI wave.

They've added official support for Navi21 under Linux some time ago. It's still very small number of supported devices comparing to NVIDIA but at least it's no longer required to purchase CDNA accelerators to get started.
