Have you noticed how AMD and Intel just do tiny steps, sometimes even not worth writing about when it comes to innovation?
It's always either AMD matching the new Intel CPU of other way around - it's never about eg. completely crushing Intel.
This is the problem of late stage capitalism, where both companies are owned by the same large investment funds and they use their power to ensure neither company could eat too much profits of another.
When AMD was falling behind, they seem to have been "allowed" to do the Ryzen and it's back again to "elephant race".
- thfuran 4y agoNo, it's the problem of cpu design being really fucking hard.
- varispeed 4y agoThese two things are not mutually exclusive.
- mjh2539 4y agoI mean...it's not in anyone's best interests for the only two companies in a given market to completely crush the other, right? It would be bad for consumers (increase in prices), bad for B2B (increase in prices), bad for workers (wage suppression), bad for for the market (monopolies eventually focus more of their efforts on rent-seeking than what made them profitable in the first place).
- varispeed 4y agoThat is only your assumption. How is Apple crushing the laptop market bad for the consumers? Currently there is a paradox, that if you want to buy high quality and performant laptop and affordable laptop, Apple is very much the only option. No competition can come close. Sort of they got caught with their pants down as they stopped innovating just like AMD and Intel.
