Good explanation... But I fear the interviewer will remain frozen by incomprehension!

The key to Nvidia's software is CUDA. It is remarkably easy to use and it has boat-load of support from various libraries. AMD relies mostly on OpenCL which also supports Nvidia GPUs via CUDA but there is a significant performance penalty.
Since the SCOTUS has decided APIs may not be copyrighted, AMD could have CUDA ported to their GPUs and that could open up a LOT of doors for them. If they did then a hardware battle could erupt which might be very interesting. Currently AMD has far fewer contenders at the high-end of the GPU range and by that I mean at least 8K cores and 16 GB of memory. Nvidia has consumer-level cards in that range, like the 3080ti and 3090.

this to me reminds me of the differences in Apple vs Microsoft.
Apple makes hardware(great hardware) and have software that runs on it. Microsoft makes software and sometimes makes hardware for it.

Due to one thing and another, I've upgraded from SQL Server Express 2012 for my dev system to SQL Server Developer Edition 2019 (I like to keep the DB engine at the same version as the production server - it means I don't use features that aren't available, and the hosting service was running 2012 until recently).
And once I'd unpicked what the Data Migration Assistant wanted me to do (why is it that complicated, given you'll probably use it once or twice a decade?) my dev DB's moved over nicely.
Fortunately, I did this a while ago: Instance Storage - A Simple Way to Share Configuration Data among Applications[^] so changing to the new Server instance was a single location change and all my apps switch over.
So I test them ... and blow me but it's quick! The apps load maybe ten times faster? Almost immediately, instead of a couple of seconds delay while they sort out the initial data. Impressive stuff!
