This is one of the reasons I don’t bet on AMD for GPU outside of gaming. All the other GPU vendors (NVIDIA , Intel, Apple, Qualcomm etc ) are investing strategically on making sure popular software is hardware accelerated by their products. NVIDIA is clearly in the lead here, due to the excellent choices for CUDA, but AMD is the only vendor who seems to not be pushing forward here because their HIP and ROCm strategy seems to be flawed.


On the other hand, I don't think any other vendors aim for compatibility with CUDA. Intel is laser focused on oneAPI which is just SYCL iirc. Sure, SYCL is cool and all, but you cannot trivially translate most CUDA programs to SYCL like you can with HIP.
