      No, it’s a datum - about how people feel

      Performance numbers are easy to find. The prices have not been great and the 4060 is held back by its reduced memory speed, but it’s a performance increase nevertheless. The flagship product, the one that shows what is currently possible in terms of GPU power, did show remarkable improvement in top performance.

      I’m more salty about AMD not supporting ai workloads on their consumer gpus. Yes, ROCm exists and it will work on quite a few cards, but officially it’s not supported. This is a major reason why Nvidia is still the only serious player in town.

        Yeah AMD just seems like it just doesn’t want to market AI on consumer hardware for devs. They have a ryzen chip line with built in dedicated "NPU"s now, but honestly the fact there is a disconnect between AI for the GPUs and a focus on windows, even for development, just makes it feel clunky.

          Ok I thought it common knowledge but maybe I should specify.

          Datum is the singular form of data. Data is a collection of many single datums. If you have ten thousand anecdotes they do in fact become statistically significant.
