In their defense, Metal predates Vulkan by a couple of years and I would say that Metal jump started the new generation of GPU APIs.
- cmovq 4y agoI would say Mantle jump started the new generation of GPU APIs. Not sure if it predates Metal’s development.
- izacus 4y agoThat sounds like typical Apple fan rewriting of history to me. Metal was barely relevant to any 3D acceleration conversation at the time the Mandle/VK/DX12 conversations and planning was being had. Apple platforms just weren't all that important for this industry and console experience from Xbox 360/PS3/Nintendo shaped requirements much more.
