The quantity of people on this site now that care about GPUs all of a sudden because of the explosion of LLMs, who fail to understand that GPUs are _graphics_ processors that are designed for _graphics_ workloads is insane. It almost feels like the popular opinion here is that graphics is just dead and AMD and NVIDIA should throw everything else they do in the bin to chase the LLM bag.
AMD make excellent graphics hardware, and the graphics tools are also fantastic. AMD's pricing and market positioning can be questionable but the hardware is great. They're not as strong with machine learning tasks, and they're in a follower position for tensor acceleration, but for graphics they are very solid.
