AMDs deep learning libraries are very bad the last time I checked, nobody uses amd in that space for that reason. Nvidia has a quazi monopoly, that's the main reason for the price difference IMHO.

this...

nearly 95% of deeplearning github repos are "tested using cuda gpu - others, not so sure"

the only way to out-run nvidia is to have 3~10x better bang-for-buck.

Or AMD can just provide a "DIY unlimited gpu RAM upgrade" kit -- a lot of people are buying macstudio 128gb ram because of its "bigger ram-for-buck" than nvidia gpus

I heard apple m4 ultra using 256gb HBM for studio and pro, but I don’t buy it. The 256GB maybe. But a HBM memory control that would go unused on laptops doesn’t pass the smell test.

I think their best option might be more/better prosumer options at the higher end of consumer pricing. Getting more hobbyists into play just on the value proposition.

Explain why the performance difference does not matter?

AMD does only 33% better with a chip that has 2X transistors and 2X memory.
