      No worries, I get that.

      I am just saying globally prices are more variable. I can’t speak for EU specifically, but our prices generally track EU (more so than US).

      AMD needs to compete directly with Nvidia, but they won’t since GPUs are a (US) government backed oligopoly.

        For the most part, I really do think AMD is trying to compete with Nvidia as best they can, in as many ways as they can, but Nvidia is simply utterly dominant and huge.

        They have very usable alternatives for almost everything Nvidia does, their cards are way, way easier to use on Linux due to being way more open with their drivers and such…

        Maybe, maybe, depending on exactly how the coming implosion of the US AI bubble plays out, they might be able to gain some ground against Nvidia… but that is an exceptionally complicated scenario to try to predict in any real detail.
