Which is why intel left nvidia and everyone else in the dust with CUDA, which they developed. Oh, wait…

  What exactly do you think Intel was going to write CUDA for? Their GPU products have been on the market less than 2 years, and they're still trying to get their arms wrapped around drivers. Them understanding what was coming doesn't mean they have a magic wand to instantly have a fully competitive product. You can't write a CUDA competitor until you've gotten the framework laid. The fact they invested so heavily in their GPUs makes it pretty obvious they weren't caught off-guard, but catching up takes time. Sometimes you can't just throw more bodies at the problem...

    That’s my point though - they’re catching up, not leading, which rather implies that they absolutely missed a beat, and don’t therefore understand where the market is going before it goes there.

      “Nobody gets it’s the software” If they didn’t get it’s the software, they wouldn’t catch up. You didn’t say they were late to the party, you said they don’t understand what needs to happen. My point is they understand exactly what needs to happen they just didn’t have the technology to even start to tackle the problem until recently.
