“Software is also another area where Nvidia has a clear advantage, which keeps its customers locked in. If AMD can gradually decrease the software friction that has kept users loyal to Nvidia, its hardware will become far more useful. Over three million models now operate out of the box on AMD, and open-source contributions to ROCm have surged more than tenfold in the last year.”

“AMD has done a great job improving its ROCm software stack over the past few years. Meanwhile, inference is generally more memory-bound than compute-constrained, and the company's chiplet design, which can be packaged with more memory and is designed to act as part of an entire system, reduces latency.”
