<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>roenxi</author><text>Gelsinger is saying &amp;quot;the entire industry&amp;quot; and that seems likely to be a simple fact. Every single player, other than Nvidia, has an incentive to minimise the importance of CUDA as a proprietary technology. That is a lot more programmers than Nvidia can afford to employ.&lt;p&gt;Even if Intel falls over its own feet, the incentives to bring in more chip manufacturers are huge. It&amp;#x27;ll happen, the only question is whether the timeframe is months, years or a decade. My guess is shorter timeframes, this seems to mostly be matrix multiplication and there is suddenly a lot of money and attention on the matter. And AMD&amp;#x27;s APU play [0] is starting to reach the high end of the market with the MI300A which is an interesting development.&lt;p&gt;[0] EDIT: For anyone not following that story, they&amp;#x27;ve been unifying system and GPU memory; so if I&amp;#x27;ve understood this correctly there isn&amp;#x27;t any need to &amp;quot;copy data to the GPU&amp;quot; any more on those chips. Basically the CPU will now have big extensions for doing matrix math. Seems likely to catch on. Historically they&amp;#x27;ve been adding that tech to low-end CPU so it isn&amp;#x27;t useful for AI work, now they&amp;#x27;re adding it to the big ones.</text><parent_chain><item><author>brindlejim</author><text>Fun fact: More than half of all engineers at NVIDIA are software engineers.
