AMD GPUs handle all inference for Llama3 at Meta btw.

>AMD said it now expects to make more than $5 billion from sales of its Instinct data center GPUs this year due to high demand from hyperscalers like Meta and Microsoft

It's no Nvidia but Meta has ordered AMD GPUs.

Why is AMD shit at low-level processing? What does it mean "their algos are stuck"? Having watched "the industry" for a few decades now, the appeal for NV smells heavily like the old appeal for Xeons, and Big Blue before them. The moat appears (to me, an unknowledgeable outsider) to be just cultural, not necessarily technical.

This comment is somewhat more insightful:

This is just silly fanboyism, there are pros and cons to each.
