I know everyone likes to hate on Apple for doing their own thing (and often rightfully so) but Metal predates Vulkan by 18 months. They needed to do it themselves because something like Vulkan/DX12 didn't exist to adapt and the alternative was OpenGL ES.
- nextweek2 4y agoThis is disingenuous. AMD created Mantle, it was a good idea that they agreed to create it as an open standard and invited everyone in to participate in a unified standard. Halfway through Apple decided to do its own thing and created Metal. Apple were clearly sabotaging a unified GPU platform by creating Metal. Don’t keep saying Apple got there first because AMD did.
