And indeed more than succeed, they invented x86_64.
- stcredzero 3y agoAnd indeed more than succeed, they invented x86_64. If AMD invented the analogous to x86_64 for CUDA, this would increase competition and progress in AI by some huge fraction.

- stcredzero 3y agoYou don't think someone would welcome the option to have more hardware buying options, even if the "Itanium version" didn't happen?
- jvanderbot 3y agoWhy "if only". Intel had been around forever when AMD showed up. CUDA isn't unassailable
- sangnoir 3y agox86_64's win was helped by Intel's Itanium misstep. AMD can't bank on Nvidia making a mistake, and Nvidia seems content with incremental changes to CUDA, contrasted with Intel's 32-bit to 64-bit transition. It is highly unlikely that AMD can find and exploit a similar chink in the amor against CUDA.
- LamaOfRuin 3y agoIf they're content with incremental changes to CUDA then it doesn't cost much to keep updated compatibility and do it as quickly as any users actually adopt changes.
