You can run Nvidia CUDA applications natively on Radeon GPUs thanks to ZLUDA, the open-source project that AMD once funded

You don’t need to be a professional content creator or an expert in data analysis to know that when it comes to GPUs for these roles, one manufacturer dominates the market: Nvidia. That’s almost entirely down to CUDA, a programming platform that’s been around for years. AMD has its own system called ROCm but it’s […]

Google says per-transistor chip costs stopped getting cheaper 10 years ago, but how is that right?

GPU prices remain painful. On that we can all agree. But can it really be correct that the per-transitor cost of chips hasn’t budged in a decade? So said Google’s Milind Shah last year, according to Semiconductor Digest (incorporating Memory Buses Weekly, or at least it ought to!).  More specifically, the claim (via Tomshardware) is […]
