    My theory is that they’re just scared to annoy Nvidia too much. If they priced their GPUs so as to really increase their market share, Nvidia might retaliate. And Nvidia definitely has the deeper pockets. AMD has no chance to win a price war.

        It’s fear of failure not success because success isn’t an option.

        Cause if they start to “succeed” then they actually fail since they will be crushed by Nvidia.

        Their options are to either hold the status quo or lose more because they angered the green hulk in the room

          Wait wait wait… If I push your theory a bit, it then means that Nvidia could crush AMD at any time, becoming a full fledged monopoly (and being able to rake in much more profits), but they are… Deciding not to? Out of the goodness in their hearts maybe?
