This thread is "Future and Current Status of AMD".

Compute is about "bang per buck" to some users. That's the point. One pays a lot for an Nvidia GPU versus what they get in "compute. That affects AMD's "status" with consumers -- positive with some (more profit) and negative with others (price too high for gamers).

GPUs do graphics and "compute" functions. Some applications and games make use of the GPU compute functions. AMD has typically supported compute functions well compared to Nvidia. And, that matters to folks who use GPU compute functions.

AMD's lead in compute (bang for buck wise) and the effect of that on AMD GPU cost (driving up the cost) is relevant to AMDs "Future and Current Status" with all sorts of consumers -- from SimHQ gamers who don't want to overpay for FPS to cryptocurrency miners who want the best "bang per buck" (its all about money to them) to professionals who use the compute side of GPUs and may find AMD less attractive at a higher price.

With me, its not about "beating" Nvidia or Intel. Rather, both provide excellent products that AMD must be competitive with -- so it makes sense to me cut and paste articles that compare all aspects. Its about the "Future and Current Status of AMD" -- which involves more than FPS.
