Uglavnom zamaraš se nebitnim stvarima (tko je koliko kome što platio - who cares), a radi se o kiki rikiju čak i za amd, a propuštaš veliku sliku. Korist i za microsoft (zašto će gaymeri prelaziti na win10) i za amd (dx12 postaje standard, njihov hardver - i cpu i gpu drastično bolje performaju, ne moraju mititi developere za mantle)
Mantle im se višestruko isplatilo jer amd-ov hardver underperforma na dx11 i zato su prvi izbacili alternativni api i pokrenuli trend low cpu overheada. Ako im je microsoft morao što platiti, siguro im je platio, ali kažem amd-u bi se isplatilo čak i da oni plate microsoftu samo se alterantivni API proširi. Mantle je bandwagon:

It’s more than a little interesting that Apple just standardized on AMD GPUs across both its laptops and its desktops before announcing Metal would be coming to OS X. I wouldn’t read too much into it — for example, it’s premature to conclude that previous Intel and Nvidia GPUs won’t be fully supported under the new API — but it’s possible Apple chose to standardize on a single GPU vendor across its product lines to make future support easier.
