#2With Intel stuck in process hell for a while longer, I primarily hope AMD can gain ground on Nvidia. They are pushing a lot of innovation and gaining market dominance, both in the ML/GPGPU space and gaming (with ray tracing, upscaling, etc).
We need some competition to keep prices low and innovation high medium to long term.

#3At the beginning of the year I thought AMD were going to have an amazing year. I think they’ll probably continue beating Intel but the new nVidia cards look really good, and very good value.
I hope AMD still have an ace up their sleeve.

Funny I just posted almost the exact same. Seems like we all have a soft spot for AMD!

AMD have much lower power consumption, that was my main motivator for Ryzen and AMD Radeon as dev station.

#6Rumor has it AMD has a competitive GPU but will not pursue the high-end market mostly because of their limited TSMC slots, they can make much more money from a CPU wafer than a GPU one ( due to area size and yield )
But I really hope I'm wrong and they kick Nvidia ass since they become such intolerable arrogant anti-competitive pricks in the last +10 years.

#7If the rumors are true about increased frequency and IPC for Zen3, we should be in for quite a ride. Zen4 and a shrink to 5nm next year ought to produce some further benefits.
I’m too old to “hate” Intel but the improvements we are seeing from both sides these last couple of years make clear how bad the stagnation had gotten. Gotta have competition!

#8I’m worried that the choice of not going first with the RDNA2 presentation is because they know it’s going to be disappointing and not competitive with RTX 3000.

It's not out of the question to save the best part of a presentation for last.

What's their CUDA competitor this year? Are they pushing out client libs for Vulkan or are we sticking with trying to make ROCm work?
