The good new is that Nvidia's high GPU prices motivate everyone (Intel, AMD, ARM, Google, etc.) to try and tackle the problem by making new chips...
Or their dominance leads to competition throwing in the towel and investing resources in a market with less stiff competition.
I wouldn't be surprised to see AMD start to pair back ivnestment on high-end GPUs if things continue down this path. I would say Intel likely keeps pushing, but I'm less convinced they can actually make much headway in the near future.
- xnx 3y agoAs was mentioned in another thread on a slightly different topic, it wouldn't be surprising to see all non-Nvidia parties unit around some non-CUDA open standard.
- josemanuel 3y agoDo you mean something like OpenCL?
- xnx 3y agoExactly. More resources might get applied to improving it.
- josemanuel 3y agoI must admit my previous comment was mildly sarcastic. What I was after is: OpenCL is that language/framework that is consortium driven and open. It’s been there since the start of time. Still it cannot dethrone CUDA… Nvidia struck gold with CUDA and its lock-in
- andromeduck 3y agoThe main problem with OpenCL is most people eoue rather work with C++.

It seems that Intel is making great headway on their fabs and may somehow pull off 5 nodes in 4 years. Intel 3 is entering high volume production soon and according to Gelsinger 20A is 6 months ahead of schedule and planned for H2 2024. If they do pull this off and regain leadership that would change outlook.
