    AMD had decades to see where the wind was blowing and offer a first-party CUDA bridge.

    NVIDIA earned this monopoly through business savvy predictions.

        Deserved never once appeared in my comment so idk what you’re trying to say.

        We live in a capitalist society. Deserved? Probably not. Earned? They’re one of the most valuable companies in the world for a reason.

          Wasn’t Nvidia the one that was caught intentionally doing things to break games on competitors drivers with their sponsored games?

          Earned isn’t the right word when you have to do shitty things and cut your competition down…

            I think we found Robin William’s character in Hook before he went to Never Never Land. 🤣

            If I didn’t live in this sick society, I might not believe such a sociopath existed. I bet OP also praises Nestle, Monsanto, and Theranos for their business savvy.

              The first user I’ve ever encountered with literally every single comment they ever made showing negative points.

      Ever heard of OpenCL? AMD started that project. CUDA is closed source.

      What kind of hedge fund, MBA, anti-consumer chud counts it as a point AGAINST a company for developing open source technologies when they could have easily closed their IP warchest and offered a first-party CUDA bridge? AMD actively chose to embrace the open source world rather than further enabling a CUDA monopoly. IMO, every computer user in the world owes AMD a debt of gratitude for their contributions to open source technologies like OpenCL.

      I can tell you’re a Windows user because if you used Linux for even a single day (you know, the kernel that is the industry standard for virtually ALL internet servers including Microsoft’s), you’d know all too well that NVidia is objectively hostile to open source technologies and the consumers who are unwitting victims of their anti-competitive, closed source technologies.

      There’s no such thing as earning a monopoly. Even in theory a monopoly can be earned only for an infinitely small moment, until that monopoly is a result of perpetuating itself.

      And since this is intuitively obvious, I’d say every person talking about “earning a monopoly” just cannot imagine more honest ways of being successful.

      Good business sense in the past does not give them a free pass to now assfuck every consumer (both individual and B2B) so he can buy more leather jackets. Fuck wealth-extracting corporate monopolies, fuck Jensen. Do not support such behavior.

      Nobody “earns a monopoly”. I’ll take advocating for the public trust over ethical bankruptcy. I’m not aware of anytime that nVidia did anything in fairness, only through high pressure antitrust tactics that border on illegal. Fuck Jensen and fuck nVidia.

      through business savvy predictions.

      More like through shoving its solutions onto everyone around.

      And nope, “earn” is a wrong word.
