It would be great if more GPU competition would enter the field instead of less. The current duopoly is pretty boring and stagnant, with prices high and each company sorta-kinda doing the same thing and milking their market.

I'm kind of nostalgic for the Golden Age of graphics chip manufacturers 25 years ago, where we still had NVIDIA and ATI, but also 3DFX, S3, Matrox, PowerVR, and even smaller players, all doing their own thing and there were so many options.



We'd need our government to actually enforce antitrust laws that have been on the books for about a century. Good luck.


there's intel and they're not bad


pretty sure i heard that they were stepping down from doing discrete graphics in the next year or two
