apple using amd extensively is a holdout from one of steve's decisions to drop nvidia because they broke confidentiality and leaked the specs of an upcoming product release

it's surprising that tim is carrying the policy forward because he is incredibly negligent about confidentiality and leaks run rampant in apple nowadays

so if the choice is between amd and NVidia choose NVidia and if the choice is between opencl and cuda choose cuda.

when amd can sell you 50% more raw flops for the same money as nvidia it might be worth eating the overhead

dude the problem is that cuda is a billion times better than opencl. and barring that everything works a lot better on nvidia and renders a LOT faster.
