What is more accessible about a vendor with fully open drivers losing engineers to one with closed source implementations?

Because open source drivers don’t help anyone who can’t get the hardware.

What's elusive about AMD SoCs?

[–] accideath@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They‘re mostly higher end than Snapdragon SoCs

Raytracing isn't for low-end Snapdragon SoCs. Zen2-based SoCs aren't that expensive.

Zen3+ based SoCs (Ryzen 6000) are not. And those are the ones you’d need to have Navi II iGPUs and thus Raytracing.

AMD had ray tracing experts?

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

ray tracing were never a nvidia feature, it always existed, and it was supported in amd gpus since, well, forever, the same with nvidia, but only in data center gpus

They forgot the quotes around expert.
