On a related note, TIL AMD has an evolving competitor to Apple Silicon, except they named it “Ryzen AI” so everyone could ignore it. They apparently announced a couple new chips this week, and if it weren’t for a cgchannel article mentioning it in connection with Blender, video rendering, etc., it never would’ve registered in my brain that the SoCs might ever be useful for anything. Still RDNA 3.x, so meh, but I’m looking forward a future SoC with drastically improved RTX cores on par with Nvidia to use in a render farm at some point. They’re definitely not going to beat Nvidia if they keep using stupid names for their chips, though.
