Blender 3.0 takes support for AMD GPUs to the next level

I wouldn't go that far. Nvidia and even Intel have had hardware-accelerated features in Blender (RTX-acceleration and Optix, respectively), so this is more about getting them back on the same level. I do really like AMD GPUs though, I'd be interested to see how this performs on their APUs with the Vega graphics.

According to other posts, this won’t support Vega graphics; RDNA1 is the absolute minimum, with RDNA2 being the oldest architecture officially supported. Guess we’ll have to wait for new APUs to see how this fares.

OptiX is not an Intel technology, both CUDA and OptiX rendering backends for Blender's Cycles are powered by Nvidia.

They probably meant the Intel denoiser bundled with Blender.

Probably meant Embree
