Really, I haven't. I have no memory of anyone, whether Facebook newbs or forum dwellers, assuming AMD has anywhere near the value of Nvidia.

Intel:
- 90% of the server market
- 99% of the laptop market
- 80% of the desktop market
- they make everything storage, network, software solutions and they are leaders in all of them
- Intel has more software engineers than AMD has total employees.

Nvidia:
- 100% AI market
- 100% professional market (Quadro, CUDA, OptiX)
- 70% consumer GPU market
- they also make almost everything and their SDKs literally run the world
- new Ampere HGX and DGX monsters will push out even Intel from the server world

AMD
- makes few good CPUs
- they have consoles
- we hope they will have a GPU that can beat 2 year old 2080 Ti
- they can't even make drivers work

Don't get me wrong those few CPUs are really rocking hard atm but other than that AMD doesn't even qualify as competition.

Well I don't agree with that at all they are killing the CPU side of things atm.
The consoles is huge money Nvidia and Intel would have loved to have a contract like that.
2080ti is base level and they have tsmc far better than Samsung node, but yea they have a ways to make up ground, but i sure hope they do even if they don't beat nvidia i am more willing to go amd myself.
I think the drivers is an early issue on launch i see as many posts of people saying in the past as i do saying they don't have any issues.

They are in the market they are competition regardless of the % pretty sure Intel and Nvidia would like nothing more than amd to sink, then they would fight it out alone stagnate the market and eventually merge and just take the whole pie.

Which is unlikely with China not wanting them to go to US control.

Relations between china and most of the countries in the 5 eyes alliance are pretty icy right now. I don't think it would make much of a difference UK or USA from an intelligence standpoint

I think you misunderstood me. I was saying that I haven't heard anyone say that AMD is anywhere near as big as Intel or Nvidia. You said "Contrary to popular belief"... when it's not popular belief at all.
