Losing the market leader for GPUs at a time when accelerators have almost become mainstream absolutely massive.<p>Sure it might not be the end of the world for many existing applications but think of the new&#x2F;growing growing markets they basically control right now - deep neural networks, car automation, photorealistic offline rendering, accelerated simulation, accelerated HPC, gaming etc.<p>With the interest and demand from all those and potentially other segments like say Android could be enough to push BSD ahead of Linux in a few years and be absolutely crippling for the future prospects of Linux.<p>It&#x27;d basically be like GCC vs Clang all over again.
