Let me red pill you on that senpai. AMD AND NVIDIA are a cartel of patents. They hog the GPU patents of the Desktop.
Something similar happens with the CPU patents of the Desktop/x86 that is. If anyone wants to enter he must kiss ass.
Look at Intel itself, in order to have GPU tech, it must kiss AMD ass: http://seekingalpha.com/article/4042977-new-details-intels-ip-deal-collaboration-amd
Further than that, AMD and NVIDIA don't even have their own Foundries. They have to pay fees to others that do have Foundries and as a result they become even more expensive.
That is one of the main reasons that AMD runs behind Intel like a dog on the CPU stage. Intel has their own factories.
NVIDIA is usually making slightly bigger GPUs that are faster and more expensive, but that's their only difference.
If the patents were open to all Foundries for all chips, you would see discreet GPUs at 50% lower prices.
didnt amd sell their foundries?

y-you need our latest 1080ti for those things to work goyim!

>Intel has their own factories.
So why did Intel close down a bunch of them?
>>59233982
Intel has a ton of Foundries. They open new ones and close old ones all the time. They range from the latest 10nm ones, to ancient 45nm or so ones that still produce simpler tech.

They did and it was their downfall.

how does it feel getting fucked by intel?

Are you talking to the mirror? OP here. I'm well aware that Intel can raise prices according to what I wrote.
AMD runs behind it like a dog because of its lack of Foundries. Therefore Intel can raise prices.
But also AMD AND Intel are hogging x86 patents so supporting EITHER is cuckoldry.

foundries are a total money sink

You must be a nobelist in economics kid. If Intel had a loss, they would not spend billions every year to go to the next node. They would also pay Samsung or someone else to manufacture for them.
Get over it, Intel has technical superiority at manufacturing.
You don't even understand how easy it is for Intel to switch. Every single year they have the opportunity to switch to what you suggest. Every single year they put the numbers down and realize it's a profit to make new Foundries.
The simple fact is, AMD just doesn't have the money to make Foundries.
They cost a gigantic pile of money they don't have anymore.
