It's kind of weird. nVidia kind of has the PC market cornered, but AMD has had the last couple of generations of Xbox and Playstation. Also, they power the Steam Deck/Machine, and Valve has been contributing a lot of AMD graphics features into the Linux drivers. There is a world where AMD (and maybe even Linux on AMD specifically) becomes the de facto standard for gaming.

- SV_BubbleTime 22d agoThere will be a PS6 and a NextBox… it’s just that Sony is cracking down on what some idiot MBAs have decided are “unrealized monitary streams”.
- aprilthird2021 22d agoEveryone likes to deride idiot MBAs while also enjoying a stock market that returns on avg 8-10% per year vastly outpacing inflation in a developed, stable, wealthy country of all places. It's like that scene from margin call about normal people in big houses they can't actually pay for and big cars who pretend but would actually croak if things got really fair really quickly.
- SV_BubbleTime 22d agoMBAs aren’t making the stock market go up. Inflation is.
- rich_sasha 22d agoInflation isn’t making anything go up faster than inflation though!
- SV_BubbleTime 22d agoWell… yes. But I think the undersold part would be inflation is likely far more correlated to rate and values the stock market going up, than the disclosed and reported inflation numbers given to you by the people directly responsible for monetary adjustments.
- aprilthird2021 21d agoI mean if you don't want to believe in statistics, sure then left is up and apples are oranges and why do you even need strategy or management in a company at all?

- aprilthird2021 21d agoThat happens a lot less than people think, the stock market is a testament to that
- moffkalast 22d agoWell AMD does have the Steam Machine now, they really like doing console integrations. Shame it won't really sell given the pricing situation.
