Khronos Group ships tools bringing Vulkan graphics API to iOS and MacOS
seanismorris said:So the Khronos Group is a non profit consortium? Sounds like it...
I’ve long heard MacOS has been lacking in Gaming Performance. They’re also behind Linux?
Khronos Group keep up the good work! It’s past time Apple achieves parity...
However, on the flip side, Khronos by gathering and working with multiple Patent holders/inventors can put together better technology for the end user. Help the Inventor recover money for any corporation using his/her Patent and can help create a Standard to user across multiple devices. So there are advantages to it.
Khronos, gets paid by a commission of Royalties collected for managing all of the Patents. Which includes lawyers, top 1% professional sales folks, insurances, etc. etc. Which is clearly earned. Khronos isn't an enemy, nor a savor but a legitimate way of doing business, unlike Patent Trolls.
Patent Trolls, buys Patents (technically, having a Patent assigned to them.) and then just sit on it until a major company clearly makes serious headway into that industry and then out of the blue, sues the company claiming they are using their Patents, even though that Corporation might have been working on the idea for years, spending millions to create a market and advertising, distribution channels, etc., etc. then the Patent Troll claims they want all of the past profits and future profits, normally worth tens of millions of dollars. This is BS because the Patent Troll on purpose sits and watches companies build markets with products versus taking action immediately. This is why Inventors and companies HATE Patent Trolls. Laws need to change because I have seen mom-pop companies be built up and only to be taken down by a Patent Troll, for greed and nothing else.
