If RX 8600 (XT) is the top Navi 44 chip, I hope there are nice 8500/8400 options including 75W.

Hope this means that ROCm compatibility now extends all the way down to the 8600 and that AMD will also have laptops that support ROCm

8800XT gets more appealing if it supports ROCm. Hopefully good for AI work too with something equivalent to Tensor cores for matrix math.

EXACTLY! This is huge. It's as though AMD finally gained the willpower to close the 15-year gap with Nvidia.

Because yes, CUDA is what made Nvidia rich. Not more gaming performance, not better drivers. The Nvidia tax is a CUDA tax. CUDA was there when the world of GPGPU needed it, and AMD was playing deaf and then half-heartedly supported OpenCL and then ROCm whilst also restricting it to Radeon Pro. They just didn't want to acknowledge that CUDA won exactly because it ran on consumer hardware and therefore AI students and free software could make use of it. Hopefully AMD now realised that they can use this same strategy against a monopolistic and enshittified Nvidia to take some revenue back.
