U.S. Accuses Google of Illegally Protecting Monopoly

I think the shortage and performance war is happening only at the top and the market is more volatile at the mid-bottom. Besides AMD and Nvidia have been trading places if we look beyond the last few years. Not enough to base a monopoly lawsuit on.

If Nvidia actually gets to buy ARM, that's another matter. But again they can't sue based on a purchase that hasn't even gone through yet.

I think parent comment's concern about Nvidia is with respect to AI. Nobody wants a GTX 1660 for that kind of work, the high end GPU supply is the only part that matters.

Don't know if AI is a market that's big enough to catch the attention of regulators, no matter how important it is to the HN crowd.
