this is wrong. No mainstream deep learning library uses openCL, and the non-mainstream ones that do are much much slower. I remember reading up to 10x slower, but I can't seem to find the reference right now.
You are correct. My initial response was a pedantic point about the semantic use of monopoly in this context, which isn't helpful.
I would love it if AMD would care more about GPGPU, but they don't, and NVIDIA has little incentive to make their OpenCl drivers equal to their CUDA ones.
