We've been reading the "AMD is better and here's how" arguments since the beginning of red vs green fanboy wars. One thing that has been conclusively proven is that pretty well everything along the lines of "Nvidia should be like AMD or they are going to go bust" has been wrong. Another thing that has been the case since for ever is that Nvidia and Intel make lots of money, and AMD don't. Hence I am fairly confident that (as far as making money goes) the reality will turn out to be the pretty well exactly the reverse of all your arguments above.
Ethically you might have some points, but ethics are generally not an advantage if you want to get rich.
This echo chamber ad hominem deflection comment is getting old... and by old I mean ancient.
Does anything in my commentary reflect fanboi'sm? I own a slew of Pascal GPUs for compute. One thing that is overarchingly clear is that markets are inflated by 30% which is why Nvidia as well as any tech company's stock (including AMD) is plummeting by that amount erasing all gains. So, quite clearly, market irrationality has no grounding in technical analysis. It's divorced from it. So, if you're using stock price as some false argument for why technically sound arguments are wrong, you clearly need to check the market enthusiast fanboism at the door. Technically, in tech there are short term plays and long term plays. A company can win and win for a good amount of time playing monopolistic short term greedy plays. However, all throughout the history of tech, they will face serious headwinds in the long run. This is not debatable. It's proven fact.
Another thing that has been the case since for ever is that Nvidia and Intel make lots of money, and AMD don't.
Money comes and goes as does market cap. I'm so tired of the least knowledgeable or successful investors throwing this silly argument around. Tech companies come and go. If a person claims this is not the case, they need their head checked. Whose on top today could be on the bottom tomorrow... This is Proven in tech. Making hordes of money means you're fleecing customers. Eventually there's payback. I wont touch an intel product in for decades. I am now in a position to influence professional purchases and will ensure the stack is completely AMD CPUs. I just talked with a CTO the other day whose initial product platform is EPYC for the same reasons I made my choice. Things change. People rattling off tired echo chamber comments dont' realize this and get left behind. Intel is yesterday and Nvidia will be too if they continue on with their idiocy. Not because of AMD but because of the slew of hardware startups pushing SIMD compute chips to market in the coming years that destroy Nvidia's performance metrics...
Hence I am fairly confident that (as far as making money goes) the reality will turn out to be the pretty well exactly the reverse of all your arguments above.
I'm fairly confident, the majority of people making these comments have seen their portfolio drop 25% in value in the last month or two and will see it cut in half by summer of 2019. I've heard this flawed markets = technical analysis over and over. While stocks are going up, everyone likes to rant behind their over inflated paper wealth. When reality hits and the false valuations are cut and half, such voices grow silent.
Nothing last forever in tech. Things are constantly changing and in flux. No company dominates forever.
As a consumer, I could care less what company makes the best value product. Whoever does gets my money, If AMD does, Intel does, Nvidia, ARM, or whatever new company, they get my money. I could care less about a brand/company as a consumer. As an investor, I know better than to buy into inflated nonsense and hype. Every tech stock is overinflated which is why they've all just erased 2018's gains. So much for "making" money. Enjoy your portfolio losses heading into christmas. I'm buying discounted 16 core processors.
Oh and Btw, a hardware accelerator company just mistakingly leaked that their PCIE card will support CCIX over PCIE 4.0. Which means that AMD just nuked Nvidia's DGX and Power 9.

I don't expect you to understand what this means from a technical standpoint. However, AMD just set the new bar for HPC. Intel and Nvidia's overly complex and lower performance configurations just got the shaft... IBM as well. Long term plays vs short term... In the end, the long term plays win out. Typically they are focused on openness and longevity vs proprietary money making fleecing.
