Ah, those tariffs bringing jobs back to America again, I see!

That’s not the purpose of tarrifs at any time in history. It’s about forcing equal trade access.

imo the whole mentality towards economy and trade is stuck in the 19th century and that creates the problems we see today even on the manufacturing side of things let alone the job issue. im simplifying but i think that basically, that is the root of the problem.

You might be right. Changing things is going to take a lot of time and effort.

No we haven't seen it actually. Even back then with the last iteration of Terascale that outperformed anything Nvidia had on every metric they still couldn't claw back enough market share to take the lead. No matter how good the product is it seems nothing can permeate the mindshare Nvidia has built. I don't know how AMD can ever do that, but it's clear that a better product isn't enough.

The only reason this is somewhat working with Intel currently is because they genuinely seem to not know how to react properly to a competitive product. At this point in time a CPU that's 5% faster and god knows how much more expensive simply isn't a compelling enough offer from neither companies but Intel doesn't get that.

I believe there are ways AMD can win back mindshare:

1. AMD releases a product that is significantly superior to Nvidia's.
2. Nvidia drops the ball on future generation GPUs.
3. A combination of both.

But they're pretty far fetched at this point...

We have no competition! Let's just keep the current architecture and node for as long as we can, what can go wrong?

I guess it's related to cost reduction and it's the greatest mistake a company can make.

"The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. " This quote is also used by Samsung.

Well, since you admit to not knowing much, let me school you. Contracts are legally binding. Intel has to fulfill those contracts. They have no contract with you or any individual buyer. If you have limited capacity, it has to go for commitments.
