That takes time which is why AMD is making acquisitions and hiring like crazy.

AMD had 12 years to become competitive. Deep learning revolution started in 2012.
AMD was nearly bankrupt for the first half of that. In my opinion it was a herculean feat that they survived at all.
Agree, not even at 2 billion market cap back then, now it’s almost 272 billion.
1st Ryzens were launched just 7 years ago.
Whose fault is that?
Whoever thought sticking with Bulldozer was a good idea while the GloFo thing was happening. The move towards more 'normal' process tech vs the tighter coupling when they owned the fabs led to probably at least a couple of missteps. Of course then all the other weirdness with Bulldozer...
Jaguar saved their butts via the XB1/PS4 to a large extent, (and my Puma laptop was way nicer than the Atom laptops for it's day,) Bulldozer was a huge stumble for the company tho.
I -will- say, around 2014-2015 I tossed together a 'low-end' 15h (Probably a Steamroller) and it was a competent machine, albeit relegated to 'retro-ish' steam games and DVR purposes. The Radeon core 3d performance at least did a good job of balancing real world performance compared to a Core i3
Avcording to the US and EU's highest courts, Intel. Not entirely sure what you're trying to argue.
A lot of shady exclusivity tied MDF deals.
12 years ago, Nvidia cared more about gamers than GPGPU, and 8bit floats were definitely not something anyone optimized for.
And 6 years ago they cared about crypto miners (whether they wanted to admit public or not).
Nvidia really has thick plot armor to be able to ride two massive hype waves.
Totally wrong!
Jensen decided to focus on CUDA almost 2 decades ago while Wallstreet called him an idiot back then.
12 years ago, Nvidia started to deliver GPUs for HPC and super computers in research. AlexNet was the special event to transform the company to what it is today.
