This is a reminder to all AMD fans that NO company gives a damn about any of us.
Foundry costs have gone through the roof, because demand is greater than supply. So AMD’s production costs have surely increased.
So while companies are not our friends, it is surely quite reasonable for AMD to raise enduser cost, when AMD’s production cost increases. And not necessarily some conspiracy against the user. Right? Cartels and illegal monopolies are absolutely a thing that can happen, but you have to actually argue that is the case here, before saying AMD is acting badly.
