Nvidia has brand recognition and momentum on their side. It's not that Apple or AMD are incapable.

- pjmlp 3y agoAMD has more than proven its incapability to provide proper OpenCL tooling during the last 10 years. Apple gave up on OpenCL, after disagreements how Khronos managed it. Metal Compute provides a CUDA like development experience.

Though, I will admit, AMD was also playing this game at the same time, so a disagreement was bound to happen between them and Apple. > Metal Compute provides a CUDA like development experience. And there it is. Proving my prior statement, Apple didn't want an open compute platform, what they wanted was their own compute platform and it would have "been nice" if they could pretend it was "open" and they "shared" nicely with the other tech kids. Before people come at me as an Apple hater, please know that there are many, many Apple devices in my home. I'm not an Apple hater, but I call it like I see it.
