Agreed.

Honestly, the problem isn't just which devices, but even more so, this (from the page, not your comment):

> No guarantees of future support but we will try hard to add support.

During the Great GPU Shortage, I bought an AMD RX5xx card for ML work. It was explicitly advertised to work with ROCm. Within a couple of months, AMD dropped ROCm support. EOLing an actively-sold product from being used for an advertised purpose within the warranty period was, if I understand consumer protection laws in my state correctly, fraud. There was no support from either the card vendor (MSI). No support from AMD. No support from the reseller. Short of small claims, which was not worth it, there was no recourse.

This is on a long list of issues AMD needs to sort out to be a credible player in this space:

* Those are the kinds of experiences which cause people to drop a vendor and not look back. AMD needs to either support cards forever, or at the very least, have an advertised expiration date (like Chromebooks and Android phones).

* Broad support is helpful from a consumer perspective from the simply pragmatic point of view that only a tiny fraction of the population has the time to read online forums, footnotes, or fine print. People should be able to buy a card on Amazon, at Best Buy, and Microcenter, and expect things to Just Work.

* Being able to plan is essential for enterprise use. I can't build a system around AMD if AMD might stop supporting their platform on 0 days notice, and the next day, there might be a security exploit which requires a version bump.

I'm hoping Intel gets their act together here, since NVidia needs a credible competitor. I've given up on AMD.
