Do you think NVidia is the world leader (by a wide margin) in GPU market share because their hardware or software is so great? It seems like no one can displace CUDA at this point.
- ffgjgf1 3y agoBoth? I’m leaning a bit more towards HW though. CUDA isn’t exactly that exceptionally hard to replicate (if you’re willing to spend billions of dollars anyway)
- cubefox 3y agoI don't know about the hardware, but one factor about the software is that Nvidia generally pushes their proprietary software solutions, while AMD favors more open source and open standards. This has likely helped Nvidia a lot. People sometimes confuse this, but open source being good overall doesn't mean that it is good for the business of an individual company. Just look at Apple and iMessage vs RCS. Proprietary tech can be used to push out competitors.
