Frankly, I don't get why people are still rooting for the literal evil that is Intel. These guys did everything in their power to halt progress and milk everyone for as long as possible. They should've paid 10x in dages for what they did.
I know the Stockholm syndrome is real but try to not fall for this guy's bullshit.
- KingMachiavelli 5y agoTo be fair they contribute a lot to open source. I think the fact they have fallen behind so much actually shows they were struggling to improve. In comparison Nvidia's GPUs just always seem to be one generation ahead of AMD... Part of the issue is that they become a literal blue chip company which means paying a dividend and not focusing on growth. It creates a different company culture that can be hard to get out of.
- aliswe 5y agoOpenCV is a technology that Intel open sourced, right? that tech would in itself suffice to prove the point - iirc
- beebeepka 5y agoI think you're being too fair and intentionally sugar coating their recent history. Intel spent about a decade extorting money from a captive market after nearly killing AMD due to all sorts of illegal practices. It's hilarious how releasing the same product for a decade translates to "struggling to improve" all while making more and more money each quarter. I'll leave this here for you and the people who are downvoting me just in case you're not simply fanbois. https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/digest/intel-and-the-x86-architecture-a-legal-perspective https://jolt.law.harvard.edu/digest/intel-and-the-x86-archit...
