Nvidia Admits to Underestimating AMD [View article]
Only as a demo, they failed to ship it in usable form by game developers.
> ATI has enjoyed the better technological solution for many years
Can you say "R600"?
> The cold hard truth is that physics isn't a realistic play for software developers
This paragraph is right on, I agree. Undercutting the next one...
> The government has restrictions against sole source products so Intel can't afford for AMD to go away
No, but they can certainly afford for their ATI division to go away. Dirk Meyer may end up having to make that hard choice, given his dire finances.
> [Intel and AMD] partners in crime...
This is a stretch.
"User 243082" has it right about Larrabee. Intel's present software capability stinks, to say nothing of their poor relations with game developers. A GPU product's value is delivered through a broad and deep suite of software drivers, unlike CPUs or other PC components. ATI and Nvidia have mature driver suites, at great continuing development cost. Intel has to boot itself up from nowhere in this department. Good luck.
