>Is it weird how the comments here are blaming AMD and not Nvidia?

Because it IS AMD/Apple/etcs fault for the position they're in right now. CUDA showed where the world was heading and where the gains in compute would be made well over a decade ago now.

They even had OpenCL, didn't put the right amount of effort into it, all the talent found CUDA easier to work with so built there. Then what did AMD, Apple do? Double down and try and make something better and compete? Nah they fragmented and went their own way, AMD with what feels like a fraction of the effort even Apple put in.

From the actions of the other teams in the game it's not hard to imagine a world without CUDA being a world where this tech is running at a fraction of it's potential.
