Benchmark Framework Desktop Mainboard and 4-node cluster

I agree. AMD should just go all in on vulkan I think, The ROCm compatibility list is terrible compared to...every modern device and probably some ancient gpus that can be made to work with vulkan as well.

Considering they created mantle, you would think it would be the obvious move too.

Vulkan is Mantle. Vulkan was developed out of the original Mantle API that AMD brought to Khronos. What do you mean "AMD should just go all in on Vulkan"? They've been "all in" on Vulkan from the beginning because they were one of the lead authors of the API.

Vulkan is a derivative of mantle sure, but it is quite different than what Mantle was.

There was a period in between where AMD basically EOL’d mantle and Vulkan wasn’t even in the works yet.

I would say vulkan derives from mantle, mantle development stopped some time ago.
