      That’s true, but another competing AI chip company was recently complaining that they had to meet with clients secretly, because Nvidia would delay the customer’s shipments as punishments if they caught them buying from non-Nvidia suppliers.

        AMD are no heroes but Nvidia are absolute scum for the ways they strong arm even their own partners.

          Yeah exactly. I’m not saying Nvidia are angels. But it’s funny that one of the two mega players who own the entire GPU market is pointing fingers at the other like this.

            They’re basically the only two players in the market but to put them in the same box isn’t entirely fair either. AMD is much smaller than Nvidia and Nvidia knows it. That’s why they treat their customers and partners like garbage. “What you gonna do? Go to the competitor? Do they have DLSS? I don’t think so.”

        It’s my interpretation of the title. Nothing more, nothing less.

          Even so, Nvidia has more than 80% of market share, I don’t think AMD wants anything more than competition right now. If you read the article I believe it will be more clear.
