> Unfortunately, I can't afford to keep buying systems out of my personal funds. I have personally spent ~7k USD on hardware for the CI and I have been offered reimbursement from the Debian project for my next ~5k USD in spending.

This is ridiculous. There is absolutely ZERO reason why AMD are not giving or donated by AMD at the minimum. I am sure some AMD folks are on HN. Please link this comment to Dr.Lisa Su and get this sorted out.

The person you're responding to is an AMD employee.

Then that says even worse things about priorities, if someone working there can't find anyone to provide one of each GPU.

"You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"

It pretty much looks like AMD really cannot put their money where their mouth is, and can't bring itself to actually do what is necessary to compete with the green team.

As a personal anecdote from ~4/5 years back, we contacted an AMD sales rep (AMD Germany) about a product we were developing, that was absolutely flying on NVIDIA consumer hardware. We wanted to know if there was a possibility to explore how it would run on AMD hardware, with maybe a bit of support. They didn't even bother to reply..

If that's true, in what world is ROCm a priority for AMD at all? They can't even throw a few old cards on the project?!?
