I’ve always been an AMD customer because I’ve despised Nvidia’s business practices for 10+ years.

It would still suck if they left the market because who does AMD have to compete with with? Intel? LOL

Increased prices for everyone. Lovely. I can’t despise AI enough.

I am 100% sure AMD would have done the exact same thing as NVIDIA does right now, given the chance.

Are you saying they wouldn't have milked the market to the last drop? Do you really believe it?

Of course they would have milked us that’s why I want Nvidia to stick around, to keep AMD in check.

If you look at AMD's CPUs there's indications they do that. When Zen1/1+/2 came out they were priced below intel's products as they needed to rebuild mindshare with their promising new chips, from Zen3 onwards where they started building a performance lead in many categories as well as core count they jacked the prices up because they could demand it.
