Just finished testing a bit on an Instinct MI100 bare metal server, wanted to purchase some AMD hardware to have the possibility testing more easily locally the needed specific setup, before returning on more powerful cloud servers for real work.
Due even for 6b models 8GB memory is often not enough was interested to the RX 6700 XT as cheapest 12GB VRAM option, but RDNA 3 seems to have introduced some specific Ai acceleration hardware.
Will make a huge difference choosing one or the other?
I have access also to Nvidia server GPUs. But defining commercial offering I feel AMD is providing more value for the cost. I also think competition is essential and having a single vendor worldwide didn’t benefit anyone except the vendor itself (see as example Intel and his well know anti-competition practices that resulted in a market stagnating for a decade)
