Hey Unseen83, without your post I didn't even notice the fellow edited his post and removed his statement:
"CUDA 6 is Nvidia's answer to Mantle".
Gotta hand it to him, classy... not.
In his moment of blind rage, he doesn't even realize I was pointing to him misrepresenting CUDA 6.
He doesn't even know what it is.

Knowing a little bit about what is CUDA, a person is able to infer relative differences between GPGPU vs. close-to-metal API.
... and CUDA is one of the exclusive technology of Nvidia.

x2
The fact of the matter isn't about misinformation about Mantle - at all.
hmm CUDA 6 is a code unified memory
link but to be honest i know little about it

but yes Cuda is exclusive tech for nvidia... but if gpu cannot process it Cpu will take over it like phycx but like Cuda if cpu cannot process it Cpu take over to calculate.

meanwhile Mantle is Application Programming interface API is what Game developer use to program/built their game... and if AMD says on conference say is 100% true.. GreAT for GCN GPU but Mantle also design to work with non gcn gpu..( correct me if i am wrong)

regarding fellow desprado.. think he is another green horn fanboy
