Intel ran general purpose software, that's why it was dominating. Any seamless alternative had to take the vast array of x86 applications and give better perf/price. An Nvidia alternative doesn't have to run all CUDA applications out there to make a dent. It just has to run LLM infernece to make a serious dent in Nvidia earnings.
- pixl97 3y ago"Intel ran general purpose software," Intel did not actually want to do this, and only between a series of lawsuits and licensing deals did it happen. AMD was a competitor to Intel for decades and only has really recently made a dent. At the end of the day delivering products and having a ecosystem developers can use are important. Nvidia's competitors have not delivered on that yet.
- topspin 3y agoIs the ARM dent bigger than the AMD dent at this point, or visa versa? The TSMC dent is certainly no laughing matter. Intel is accruing dents... On the plus side they have a real GPU offering just when having a GPU offering is a great idea, assuming it can be made competitive at inference.
