Problem ma nVidia nie Linus, lebo to jeho gesto ma realny zaklad
Nvidi ma nejkych 950 mil EUR stvrrocneho obratu a graficka divizia AMD dokonca len 320 milionov a tak pol milardy je pekny darcek. Zlvast, ked pricinou je prilis mala podpora GNU/Linux zo strany nVidia. NVIDIA Loses Huge GPU Order Due To Linux Blob
Posted by Michael Larabel on June 22, 2012The Chinese, who also developed the Loongson MIPS CPU, were looking to order at least ten million graphics processors. The problem is that the GeForce / Quadro driver from NVIDIA is only available for Linux x86 and x86_64 architectures, not MIPS or even ARM (only the Tegra driver is for ARMv7). NVIDIA refused to release the source-code to their high-performance feature-complete cross-platform driver to the Chinese, and it would cost them millions of dollars to port the code-base, so they went to AMD for their GPU order.The order was at least for ten million GPUs, which given the current low-end parts, would value the order at least 250 to 350 million dollars (USD). However, I've heard from a separate source that it was closer to the half billion dollar markhttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php... nVidia okamite reagujeNVIDIA Wants To Be A Better Linux Patron
