7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I think the innovation was more CUDA than the hardware. AMD and Intel were never really that far behind them.
You mean ATI before it was AMD, and Intel...well intel is still trying to find relevance. I agree with 'dou9m.' We shouldn't downplay this dude's accomplishment. Most gamers only saw their awesome grahics card as that...until crypto and now AI. I remember when RIVA 128 came out and basically mopped every other card on the market off the market? 3DFX, where are you..Matrox, where are you?
Matrox still exists and still makes graphics cards, just not consumer ones.
Nvidia bought out 3DFX’s patent library, it’s where they got their SLI tech for instance.
Intel Arc is actually decent from a power efficiency standpoint, and they were coming out with cards that had good amounts of memory for home or workstation AI before prices went nuts. My A770 actually does pretty decently at mid models etc and I'd love to get my hands on a B70.
AMD was never really competitive at the top-end, but their APU's are very slick and they did have a decent power-per-priced on GPU's. Even in the ATI days they often made good hardware but the driver stack was abysmal. On non-Windows platforms they've been awesome for a long time though, especially purpose-built APU platforms in gaming systems (PS4/5, Xbox after 360, Steam Deck, etc).
Nvidia always kinda tried to capture the "elite" market and went for top dollar, but part of that is marketing given what people were actually doing in terms of gaming.
All I’ll say is there’s a very clear reason why China is doing everything possible to try and undermine Taiwan and it does not shock me at all that they honeypotted Jensen.
This. In like 2011-2012, Nvidia and AMD each had about 40%. Then CUDA caught on. Nvidia making their stuff easier to use, especially for non-gaming purposes, meant they sold a lot better.
