2023 was the year that GPUs stood still::A new GPU generation did very little to change the speed you get for your money.

Given technological progress and efficiency improvements I would argue that 2023 is the year the gpu ran backwards. We've been in a rut since 2020... and arguably since the 2018 crypto explosion.

    I feel the same way. I don't have the data to prove it.

    Anecdotal evidence is still data

    No, it's a datum - about how people feel

    Performance numbers are easy to find. The prices have not been great and the 4060 is held back by its reduced memory speed, but it's a performance increase nevertheless. The flagship product, the one that shows what is currently possible in terms of GPU power, did show remarkable improvement in top performance.

    I'm more salty about AMD not supporting ai workloads on their consumer gpus. Yes, ROCm exists and it will work on quite a few cards, but officially it's not supported. This is a major reason why Nvidia is still the only serious player in town.

    Yeah AMD just seems like it just doesn't want to market AI on consumer hardware for devs. They have a ryzen chip line with built in dedicated "NPU"s now, but honestly the fact there is a disconnect between AI for the GPUs and a focus on windows, even for development, just makes it feel clunky.
