To which AMD replied;
"Numbers aren't everything"
Of course AMD cares about numbers, but their strategic misstep was focusing on high-volume low-margin products, like consoles and low/mid-range gaming (Polaris).
For too long, their GPU Compute strategy was "if you build it, they will come", where "it" was an open standards-based platform. Only in the last couple years did they finally started sponsoring people to port things like deep learning frameworks to support OpenCL (which of course also benefits Intel and others). The sad thing is that they even had technical superiority in GPU compute, up until about 2013. But Nvidia passed them with Maxwell and I have to wonder if they'll ever catch up.

The double-precision pictures look a bit better, for AMD... until Pascal. And that doesn't help with machine learning.
