Comments by "Kristopher Driver" (@paxdriver) on "AMD Showcases New AI Processors" video.

This guy doesn't know anything about AI or accelerators.. Are they tensor or vector focused, or generic matmul accumulators, or simply HBM equipped, are they FPGA or ASIC or do they perform well under graphics rendering workloads too? He's literally said nothing at all about the new processor other than its like Nvidia... Nvidia's what? Their A100's or their CUDA series? Yahoo is beating you on tech reporting Bloomberg, get in the game.

You have a short memory lol AMD has been great since zen 2 only 4 or 5 years ago for CPU only. Since then they've been great at GPUs only for gaming, not productivity and not compute but their server chips based on zen have been added to their elite product stack. AMD might make good GPUs in the future, but as far as useful, productive work, amd has not been hitting it out of the park, they've just been beating Intel thanks to TSMC and match Nvidia for just gaming - again, thanks to TSMC. Theyre doing well, but Intel has done nothing and Nvidia has sat back and done nothing for 3 generations now happy to reap the rewards of 3 year old technology. It's not hard to catch up on chip designs when nobody else is doing anything productive on the engineering front in half a decade. Especially since AMD doesn't even need to manufacture anything. You give them way too much credit just for not being incompetent imho lol

@praveenspike Graphics are vector and matrix operations just like AI. They are the same thing. Acceleration is just hardwired circuitry to make more complex matrix / vector operations more quickly. But they're not different, they are the same thing graphics and machine learning.

@kusumayogi7956 It's almost entirely the software and driver sid eof things. They could easily develop chiplets with more advanced operations but the reason they don't is because they haven't got a basic API working yet and they'd be putting the cart before the horse if they over developed the hardware too soon. The API needs to catch up first, Nvidia has a huge head start on that front.
