The distinguishing factor lies in the software approach. While CUDA remains closed source, AMD is taking a different path, utilizing software solutions such as Radeon Open Compute (ROC) and now integrating Nod.ai’s platforms, including the impressive SHARK software. This open source ecosystem opens up new avenues for businesses seeking to fine-tune AI deployments.
Nvidia vs. AMD: The New Tech Rivalry In the tech arena, Nvidia vs. AMD is quickly becoming the new-age equivalent of the classic Windows vs. Linux rivalry. With a decade of experience under its belt, Nod.ai, valued at an impressive $36.5 million, specializes in building and refining optimization software tailored to run seamlessly on AMD’s finest Ryzen chips, including EPYC CPUs, Radeon GPUs, and Versal processors. This alignment positions Nod.ai perfectly within AMD’s operations, as it prepares to challenge Nvidia’s dominance.
