You're painting this like AMD is off to play in their own sandbox when it's more like the entire industry is trying to develop an alternative to Infiniband.

Ultra Ethernet is a joint project between dozens of companies organized under the Linux Foundation.

>> The Linux Foundation has established the Ultra Ethernet Consortium "UED" as an industry-wide effort founded by AMD, Arista, Broadcom, Cisco, Eviden, HPE, Intel, Meta, and Microsoft for designing a new Ethernet-based communication stack architecture for high performance networking.

You probably can't call it "industry standard" yet but the goal is obviously for it to become one.

This is a misstep for all involved, AMD included. Even if AMD is following everyone else by jumping off a bridge, AMD is still jumping too.
