It's a duopoly, and unless you've got evidence that AMD and Nvidia are colluding to hurt potential competitors there's nothing illegal about it.

- ianai 6y agoIt’s really hard to call a duopoly much better than a monopoly. Sure you can probably identify points, but neither outcome is anywhere near efficient. I don’t know that it should necessarily be illegal. But it is market concentration.
- jaywalk 6y agoA duopoly is absolutely much better than a monopoly. You've got competition pushing you improve.
- Krns 6y agobut by definition isn't a duopoly not competing with each other? I might be wrong, but I remember it being about the two companies making deals with each other to keep both prices high and not innovate or improve, like ISPs in the US
- R0b0t1 6y agoAnticonsumer practices really need a test of the impact on consumers, similar to how hiring practices are tested. There is a give and take in most broadband suppliers, for example, where there is no written agreement to not compete but they don't compete.
