That would be nice. But video cards are a VERY niche piece of engineering. The knowledge of HOW to make them is locked in a handful of people, and the ability to make them locked behind a very niche set of equipment that will ALSO be exploding in cost.

One does not simply start a graphics card company.

    I don’t think a newcomer could do it, but a company like Intel is posed to be in a good position. They don’t have much market share but they have a good product.

    Intel is arguably worse. They‘re in a bad spot right now so they can‘t do crazy things like Nvidia but they totally would and will go down the same path. I don‘t think US designed hardware will ever truly come back to end consumer products.

    Nothing will. They're moving us onto techno feudalism. We won't earn anything and we'll be wage slaves if they're merciful to us, otherwise most people will be in camps and dead, unless we stand up real damn soon .

    They're actively moving away from the bottom 90% of consumers, it's just not worth it anymore and maybe once it was worth advertising to us, but no longer. The top 10% owns 93% of stocks and control at least 55% of the market revenue as of early 2025, probably closer to 60-65% now, after tariffs, layoffs, and the nonexistent recession We're all imagining and definitely isn't real. /s
