Ray tracing, probably. AI probably not. What AMD can provide is better value. They just don’t have the manpower or money to beat Nvidia at this point. Nvidia could probably release a new product twice as fast which is kind of what they’re doing now with how many people they have.
Which, if you notice how AMD plays in the AI space is exactly their plan: cost advantage and being “open” so that the communities take up some of the slack of HIP competing against CUDA. It certainly isn’t perfect but AMD doesn’t have the head count to do anything about it really. I don’t know if there is a better path for them to take, I at least don’t see it.
They don’t have the headcount because they don’t want to invest in Radeon, this has been a constant issue since they bought ATI. AMD is focused on their CPU business above all.

With what money should they hire more GPU team with?
and at least my IT friend says server parks.
