Still wondering just what exactly does rDNA bring to the table apart from performance improvements. Apple abandoned nVidia, and with it the support for CUDA that many professional applications rely on (especially for things such as Machine Learning). We've been promised that OpenCL will pick up the slack eventually, but it's already been a long time, we've yet to see it raise on the uptake.
