> The basic GCN microarchitecture underpinned every single one of AMD’s compute accelerators for nearly 15 years [...]. With CDNA5 AMD has moved over to a microarchitecture that is based on the RDNA series putting a bookend to the long-lived line that was the GCN microarchitecture.
So everything is new again. Will this be another "buy now, have ROCM work in 3 maybe years if you are lucky"?

Arguably this might reduce it, because now ROCm won't be prioritised for the GCN-based systems?

RAM prices are not coming down any time soon.
