The incentives for the development of Mantle were "OpenGL sucks, mobile developers want something better, this seems like a good opportunity". Also, AMD had been entrenched in two entire console generations (Gamecube/Wii, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS4, Xbox One), and my understanding from two AMD engineers is that they had been asking for those APIs, but on PC. A large part of AMD's technical support staff were helping people un-NVIDIA their games as well. I think there were a lot of factors, and it was a combination of the right time, the right place, and the right luck. e.g. Valve was pushing SteamOS and they found that the tooling around OpenGL loving sucked, and it was easier to start over from scratch. But I don't have any contact with NVIDIA -- the story is always biased in the competitors' favor. I don't have any public and official sources for NVIDIA completely taking control of Khronos during that time period, but I do have it on authority from several colleagues who I trust. I've also heard that Autodesk also had a large hand in it -- AutoCAD was originally designed for IRIX, and my understanding is that a good majority of AutoCAD is legacy GL that nobody quite understands how it works. I actually don't know if Autodesk was on Khronos during that time period -- given that they were one of SGI's biggest customers, I think they might have been -- but I can't seem to find any records on this. Game developers were only allowed membership a few years ago.

pseudorandom name posted:didn't DICE design Mantle and then talk AMD into implementing it? The story I was told was that AMD started the project based on their experience with developing both the libgcm API and the Adreno chipset, and DICE helped out a ton by offering real-world experience and being a "first customer" -- that might boil down to designing a lot of it to fit into how modern engines work. I'm sure that DICE was super excited about it though -- everyone was.

This guy’s work has the potential effect of disrupting the entire Go ecosystem in a negative way. Author feelings be damned, I’m not going to tolerate this, I'm going to stand up and fight for what I believe in.
