AMD is and always has been a bigger company than Nvidia. Normally it's AMD "pushing the tech" with Nvidia following. Every single time..
?????
I assume he means bigger in work force. Not finacial standing.
Even in financial standing AMD has always made more in revenue if not in profits.
If mantle is 20% faster then Nvidia just has to increase performance by 20%. They are the bigger company and should be more than able to beat AMD. Nvidia pushes the tech then the next year amd takes advantage. Sticll rinse and repeat year after year what faster. That is UNLESS mantle is 30-50% faster. Then Nvidia is hosed
He's declared his paid allegiance in his sig and he's no longer a mod here so think of him as the good cop!You don't need to use your ''buying dollars'' to get Nvidia graphics cards,don't you??
EDIT: Actually scratch that, I don't know what he means.
Glossing over these new fancy Radeon specs, I see Hardware Frame Pacing, GPU Boosting, and I know AMD didn't create these technologies.
Which part is the problem?

Now you can add TrueAudio and Mantle to that list.
I thought ATi invented unified shaders for the Xbox 360 and that Microsoft required DX10 hardware to have unified shaders, but correct me if I am mistaken.What about hardware t&l or unified shaders or crossbar memory controllers? that's just in the infancy of gpus.
Even in financial standing AMD has always made more in revenue if not in profits. It's a bit like saying Qualcomm is bigger than Intel because Qualcomm has higher profits (they will this quarter) and market cap. They aren't bigger than Intel, nowhere near it.
I'm not ready for DirectX to die. I would be afraid of it. Back when OpenGl was the leader, games were a LOT more buggy. Games which are OpenGl now, are a LOT buggier.DX sucks; I'd like to see Microsoft's patent-trolling ass die.
Open source without minimum specs FTW.

Are you reading from a AMD brochure?
Do you not see the <4 share AMD has vs $15+ Nvidia has?
Do you not see AMD market cap is 4.3billion vs Nvidia 9+billion?
Do you not see AMD gross profit 1.24B vs 2.23B?
Don't get me started on cash flow. They have been performing terribly.
Not only that, AMD has been around a LOT longer, yet employees are hemorrhaging from what they used to be.
Nvidia responding would make the situation seem like it's a threat. Why would Nvidia issue a statement exactly? What would they even say?
If as an investor, I see them issue a statement worrying about Mantle or saying "don't worry", then I'm wondering "What is Nvidia worried about?!?!?!" Right now though Nvidia is playing it smart. There is no numbers, only 1 game isusing it, just let the media hype die. Responding with something would only keep people further talking about Mantle.
You are seriously delusional.
Go read up on yearly and quarterly results the last 2-3 years. Then come back and try again.
Hint: AMDs GPU department have barely made profit. AMDs CPU department have been bleeding pretty badly.
Nvidia have been posting profit after profit and the GPU revenue have been growing.
Go educate yourself instead of making those stupid posts

Well, at least you got that part right.
Why not make it 5 years? Oh that's right, then Nvidia would have been lucky to break even wouldn't they.
Fact: AMD is a bigger company than Nvidia. Always has been, always will be.
Fact: ATI/AMD is the technology leader whether it's being first to a new node or the biggest advances in the graphics field. ATI is an older company and they were making firsts before Nvidia even existed. Most of Nvidia's "innovations" came from buying out 3dfx and Ageia. Go educate yourself instead of making stupid posts.
