Considering Qualcomm has used also very questionable anticompetitive moves in the past, in fact Nvidia used those anticompetitive tactics as one of the excuses to exit smartphone SOC market, I would be happier if Intel was bought from someone else, if there was any chance of this scenario becoming a reality.
Agreed. I mentioned this on another post.
Qualcomm buying Intel would have been a very bad scenario.
See above.
A platform with an Nvidia CPU and an Nvidia GPU that will be exclusive to that platform could also manage to get a portion of enthusiast gamers.
That would be as bad or worse for the whole industry, but for some weird reason, everyone now keeps giving Ngreedia free passes and dont even call out their many anti consumer practices.
As for AMD, unfortunately as we can see in the GPU business they can't fight Nvidia.
That’s not entirely true and on the contrary, they are fighting, with a way smaller budget and getting decent results.
The are behind on the software part but are working on it (ROCm vs CUDA). Example, their MI300X parts are faster than the targeted competitor (H100).
On the top 10 supercomputers, they hold several spots, including the first one.
The problem with gamers is that we now have these influencers that don’t educate consumers into not falling for non platform agnostic tech and instead praise such things. Just see how none of them, ever, make any such warnings about dlss?
Or overhype tech that its still not entirely ready for mass consumption, like RT.
I can go on, but I’m already gone way off topic.
