AMD Hires Away Nvidia's CUDA Guy

[Pei-chen]

Does this mean Nvidia's vision is right all along and AMD/ATI is trying to catch up?

ATi doesn't even need to release thier 6XXX cards this year, they already got it in the bag. So 2 winning years for ATi, and the way things look might be 3...
Cmon Nvidia? Where is this GPU dominance?

Let's summarize this:

Amd's current graphical performance + Nvidia's quirks (AKA CUDA) + AMD's price = joy and happiness for all.

I think it'd be quite funky if they could do something like CUDA because one thing Nvidia typically beat ATI in was with GPGPU's (General Computing GPU I believe) and they typically did better than their ATI counterpart when it came to things such as encoding, compressing ect. At least, I think so. Either way, it'd be great if this dude has something epic up his sleeve.
