oof



Are you freaking kidding me!?!? Fire those MBAs immediately.


> After two years of development and some deliberation, AMD decided that there is no business case for running CUDA applications on AMD GPUs.

Oof x2


That's an oof indeed. Are AMD and Intel really that delusional, ie "once we get our own version of Cuda right everybody will just rewrite all their software to make use of it", or do they know something we mere mortals don't?


That sounds more like "if we implement CUDA then we'll just be Nvidia-but-worse, we won't gain enough marketshare to break even let alone profit."


Maybe their lawyers are afraid of another round of "are APIs copyrightable"?
