On: Open-source project ZLUDA lets CUDA apps run on AMD GPUs

> Intel eventually decided there was “no business case for running CUDA applications on Intel GPUs”,

Oh, boy.

One simple way to put things is that at a certain size and age, every company is an aspiring monopolist, not an aspiring competitor.

That would make more sense in the alternate history where Intel and AMD never try to make GPUs anymore.

[joe_the_user → winwang]

Not necessarily. They're making GPUs but they're avoiding any head-to-head competition with NVidia and instead trying for a smaller share of the market but one they have some unique advantage or other.

Intels graphics wing is so bad they had to stop calling it intel hd because of the taste it left in people's mouths.
