llama.cpp's new Vulkan backend for AMD RDNA3/RDNA4 GPUs delivers ~27% throughput boost on 26B models. A signal for SMEs eyeing local AI without NVIDIA
Lemonade drops AMD ROCm for Vulkan — benchmarks show ~40x speedup, exposing AMD's chronic gap: strong silicon, weak software versus Nvidia's CUDA.
Vulkan wins token generation (~57.5 t/s) while ROCm leads prompt processing (~1052 t/s) on AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395.
