It definitely feels that way. I know there is a form of artificial demand and supply going on within the GPU space, and Nvidia has everything in their power to push for that ideal. They already know the data centers are their primary focus, so they can fully afford to fuck around with the consumer market and still make a profit from it, even if they sell to fewer people.
Because AMD refuses to be successful and to try hard enough, they come off as if they are working alongside Nvidia like how Chinese businesses do, in which they create this fancy little illusion that the market is directly competing against one another, but in actuality they are working with each other to squeeze the same lemon dry for both their benefit.
At this point I want AMD and Nvidia broken up, because both are now neglecting the GPU space in both a sluggish and anti-competitive manner. Both are not trying hard enough, and both are just setting their prices high, while Nvidia releases cards that either melt cables, burn up, or rely 100% on AI to create an illusion of perf gains, where there is none to be had without AI.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
