You’re dead right that Nvidia is where they are because of their software story and all the work they put into it.
I don’t know if Intel could have learned that lesson.

- therealcamino 2y agoReally? It doesn't seem to me like much Intel-written software has been key to x86's success. The things I can remember from Intel are compilers, performance analysis tools, and threading and math libraries. But none of them were must-haves, or differentiated x86 chips from competing CPU architectures. Most of the software that made x86 successful came from third parties. And more recently, the reviews I read of the Archmage graphics drivers didn't make it sound like Intel had understood the importance of the software that was essential to a pretty big hardware release.
- baq 2y agoYour examples are simply too recent. They've been doing it since the 70s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_system_development_kit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_system_development_kit - that they forgot what made them the success they are is unfortunate, but also wholly self-inflicted.
