I'm actually really excited about this. I'm hoping that an affordable hardware platform like this might be able to kickstart interest in ROCm, and hopefully will help break the stranglehold Nvidia has on gpu compute.
It's always been a catch-22 for ROCm, hopefully by providing large amounts of vram at a fraction of the price (a 40gb a100 gpu by itself is like 8k), maybe we can break out of the the carch-22.
Afaik all of the other computers that use this apu simply suck for compute - ones a tablet and the other is a laptop.
But being able to cluster these, and have over 500gb of vram for less than 10k? That's really exciting for me, not from a personal perspective, but for research and companies.
