Former Intel CEO Pat Kissinger admitted while attending the All-inPodcast podcast the day before yesterday that when Intel dominated the entire industry, the company had disdained Nvidia's GPU products. He said, “In that era, Hwang In-hoon was really just building high-performance computing devices. When Intel CPUs were at their best, we really looked down on his products. We think it's just a GPU; it's just something gaming enthusiasts would use.” However, things later took a turn, and Kissinger continued: “After that, Nvidia began to build real software stacks such as CUDA and SIMT around GPUs, and little by little these things became more and more mature. This long-term product improvement model is quite similar to Jobs'.”
