I&#x27;m sad to say, but it&#x27;s true. AMD has been claiming &quot;this is the year we really open up&quot; since at least 2007[1]. Well, I&#x27;m happy to hear them recommit, but I don&#x27;t believe them anymore.<p>Now that they are losing ground in the marketplace on the GPU side with deep learning, and their CPUs can&#x27;t compete with intel on the performance side, their claims ring hollow.<p>Imagine where we would be if they open sourced their drivers in 2007 like they said they would do.<p>1. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2007&#x2F;05&#x2F;amd-launches-the-hd-2000-series&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2007&#x2F;05&#x2F;amd-launches-the-hd-2...</a>
