Created by AMD and supported in only a subset of AMD's cards. Appeared in 2013 (so, a year before Metal, and by that time Apple had probably already invested millions in Metal), and abandoned in 2015.

Mantle lead to Vulkan. Your point about Vulkan simply arriving too late for Apple is not as clear cut as you make it.


Someone else answered about Mantle/Vulkan/Metal timeline in a different thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20200116

(Note: I in no way imply that you spread false narrative etc. It just happens that this linked comment is such a reply)
