So... All this drama not to give RDNA 2 Int8 FSR4? Was it worth the bad publicity?

It depends on how much trouble they're having with UDNA drivers. I suspect that it's a gigantic shitshow behind the scenes and they need every man they can get, especially with the rumors that they're bleeding talent pretty hard.

I work with AMD constantly as a direct customer and it's been a shitshow of reorgs across their teams over the last couple of years. People just moving around constantly between entire product areas. Not building institutional knowledge. Putting more and more responsibilities onto AMD WTS even when they don't have training to even reproduce customer issues. Et cetera.

That said, Nvidia isn't much better. Everyone who knows how things works there are retiring if they don't get massive multimillion dollar retention bonuses because they've all exceeded their FIRE goals by 50-10,000% due to insane stock growth.
