I think it’s more that they’re unwilling. AMD goes after low hanging fruit and targets the mass market. In essence, they’re willing to let NVIDIA invest in all of the new tech, and then they implement whatever gets popular.
So unless they decide to truly prioritize their GPU business, they’ll be happy to target the quiet majority who care mostly about price to performance while focusing on innovating on the CPU side of the business where they make their real money.
I’m sure they could compete on the GPU side if they threw money at the problem, but they don’t see a need to when it’s decently popular and they’re seeing a lot more growth and profit on the CPU side.
AMD seems incapable of competing with Nvidia at the high end, they can’t make FSR as good as DLSS and they are still far behind in RT

If what MLID saying is true then yeah that’s possible
If you look at the die sizes, it becomes clear AMD are not targeting the super top end.

And AI/ML workloads. Nvidia gets lots of shit and is more expensive but you get a better ecosystem with their cards.
A good portion of this though is the CUDA stranglehold nvidia has. Good luck getting a neural net accelerated on OpenCL or Vulkan Compute.
AMD do seem to be taking steps in the right direction here, still a while away from a more balanced landscape.
