SemiAnalysis argues AMD still faces a long road to challenge CUDA: the quoted excerpt says AMD is pushing Advancing AI 2026, offering up to 105% equity rebate discounts for OpenAI, and investing in agentic kernel generation and software-quality improvements.
The same excerpt says AMD is still dealing with unstable internal development clusters and a “production ramp hell” for Helios MI455X. It also credits much of the ROCm stack and inference-engineering effort to teams based in Shanghai, underscoring how much of AMD’s software momentum depends on China-based engineering.
