This description isn't fair. Nvidia was pouring money into CUDA for 16 years. AMD/Intel only woke up once ChatGPT launched and nvidia started printing money. It's not fair to call it "protecting their advantage" when nvidia invested into the ecosystem for years and AMD couldn't even bother to ship working examples with OpenCL. I'm not sure why choosing the company that decided to invest in the platform for years is at the expense of the "greater good." What "greater good" is there above actually working software?
- bryanlarsen 3y agoNvidia had boatloads of money to spend, and 6X the number of engineers. AMD was skating on the edge of bankruptcy. AMD bet the farm on Zen, and that bet paid off so now they have money to spend on other things. If they would have split resources off of Zen to spend on CUDA they would have failed at both and AMD would be a bankrupt husk.
