AMD Working To Release MES Documentation & Source Code

If Tiny Corp business booms am I supposed to thank them for higher prices on consumer cards?

Tinycorp is using the 7900XTX and an nvidia gpu (not sure which model). Unless you are buying the 7900XTX it is unlikely you will face any potential price increase.

I absolutely agree with the "upside down" world idea. Serious companies collaborate together without much public drama. AMD should have made some public answer to tinycorp whinings and bring the work on. We now see that the work was going on and something just materialized, but it looks to me that tinycorp whined a lot without give the material time to do the job.
Actually AMD was very open if it is true that tiny corp CEO was able to talk with AMD CEO, one worth's nothing yet and the other has billion dollars capitalization.

It's not enterprise, it's no where close to enterprise scale.

Call it what you want, but it's meant to be similar in capability and function to far more expensive AI servers.

also prices would go up anyways.

Just like during the mining boom, eh?

RTX 4090.

Unless you are buying the 7900XTX it is unlikely you will face any potential price increase.

The 7900 GRE, 7900 XT, and 7900 XTX all use the same dies and PCB.

Also, what we saw with mining is that even when an adjacent card was popular with miners, it would push up prices on cards around it, as demand for the popular card got displaced towards others.

Sigh, AMD needs to learn from Nvidia CUDA as it will run on a lowly GT1030, not spectacularly mind but it runs and a breeze to install. Most users only care if something is easy to install and it does what it says it does. Frankly ROCm is a mess and the way AMD are currently trying to position it for high end and latest cards only is doomed to failure and suicide, not to mention being a pain in the arse to install.

PS Mike, the website is really slow today, almost DDos like slow.

Actually, they have previously complained that they expected to get a lot of community contributions from their open sourcing, but instead have gotten very little.

Exactly this. Usually people invest 0% time helping out with the shoveling.
Instead it's more like. "I know this is an error. You OWE the community to fix this."
So instead of greedy GPU manufacturers, you get a greedy community.

They didnand they are working on it.

Unless cuda was perfect from day one (which happened over 15 years ago, but who's counting)

Also, as usual, they tried to do the right thing by depending in OpenCL and that burned them.

But hey, it's easier to simply trash them no matter what they do.

Actually, is worse than that.

They get no help from then community yet the anti foss bastards at ngreedia have an army of ass-kissers doing all the work under the most imposible circumstances without any help from them.

Oh, wow, that's why I buy AMD GPUs

Nvidia never responded by open sourcing anything like this regarding their graphics and driver so fast, that's for sure.

[ezst036]

It seems to me that AMD can't hire programmers so they outsource their processes to the community..

It's both, actually.

There was a time that Marek was not an AMD employee, working on RadeonSI, until he was (is) an AMD employee.

There certainly is truth to this.

While "the community" is way more trustworthy than any given corporation, there are some who ascribe saintly qualities to the community. Instead, community greed can and at times does reach omnipresence.

Also, it is worth noting that "the community" is often more driven by necessity after official corporate support ends. It's like an extra few years of free support tacked onto the end. But for right now, it is a fair expectation that AMD should be the ones doing the work and that's not community greed at all. That's called a contractual obligation on AMD's part.
