>as they are playing the anticompetitive artificial segmentation game right alongside Nvidia

Product segmentation might be anti-consumer (in the sense that they can charge higher prices overall), but it's hardly "anticompetitive".

>than seeding AI development on their cards

*ceding

I understood "seeding AI development on their cards" as in "making sure AI development in the future will happen on their cards". "ceding" sounds like the opposite of that (i.e. giving up).

The anti competitiveness is from the pricing in the face of competition.

W7900 margins are enormous. In a competitive market, AMD would massively undercut the 48GB RTX A6000 and the 24GB 4090, which Nvidia is price gouging even more. They absolutely can... But they don't.

Separately, its also (IMO) a bone headed business decision.
