I don't see Nvidia leading in raw compute power, both in GPGPU and in gaming. At most there will be parity going forward. Which will prompt Nvidia to double down on lock-ins like CUDA.
Either way, CUDA should be gone for good and replaced with something that's not tied to specific GPU. I welcome competition in hardware. I have no respect for lock-in shenanigans.
- oivey 6y agoThey’re leading right now by a bit, and when it comes to workloads involving tensor cores or ray tracing they’re burying AMD. I wish CUDA wasn’t vendor locked, too, but AMD and Intel need to start taking GPGPU software seriously. They’ve dug themselves a massive hole at this point.
- shmerl 6y agoI don't see a need to whitewash Nvidia here. They are nasty lock-in proponents. That doesn't mean AMD and Intel shouldn't invest more in improving the software side of things. Which I think they are doing (like the actual post example), so it should be getting better.
