I guess the story here is "software that used to run on CPUs ported to GPUs".

CFD has been on GPU for years now.

The article jumps from supercomputers to gaming GPUs. All this to tell us that AMD's drivers are SOOOOO BAAAAAD.

I am struggling to make a whole with the two disparate stories.

The article jumps from supercomputers to gaming GPUs. All this to tell us that AMD's drivers are SOOOOO BAAAAAD.

I am struggling to make a whole with the two disparate stories.

And using an edge case as an example as 1) Tiny's CEO is rather eccentric and loud as amplified by the tech media and 2) AI workloads on AMD non-pro GPUs almost surely meant some software assurances would be sacrificed in favor of the lower GPU costs; the drivers are different. That's why AMD didn't originally officially support that scenario, but Dr. Su later came around to working with Tiny on the driver issues.

People tend to repeat what they heard, so an issue once can become an issue for a long time -- even after it's not actually an issue anymore.
