What happens IF AMD goes out of business?

[IMPERIUS]

Hi!

Just wondered what would happen if AMD goes bankrupt, then only intel and nvidia would be on the market.

What would that mean for the consumer?

I think (I'm just a noob) the prices will go up and and the development will slow down cuz there is no competition.

Your thoughts?

Stupid America/EU

will force intel and nivida to split

beacuse (America/EU) thier unlogical Bastards

[TheKDub]

Nvidia and Intel will rule the PC world.

[Guest]

I don't think Intel is that evil 

[Me1z]

$1000 GTX 1060s and $10000 GTX 1080TIs. That's what would happen.

[Guest]

Nvidia would be a monopoly and prices would rise.

that wouldn't be a smart move on Nividas part.

[Decon]

nvidia and intel won't let AMD go completely out of business because of anti-trust issues

[SleathX1]

NVidia will put "The Way It's Meant to be Played" in every single brand new game.

[OAcesync]

that wouldn't be a smart move on Nividas part.

It's exaggerating but it would happen nothing would stop Nvidia and Intel from racking up their prices without competition

Why wouldn't it be? There are no other options. you'd be forced to pay if you needed it

They would go up a little, Gpus are optional, so nobody will buy period.

Intel maybe

but nivida would be fucked, since gpus are optional if they raise to high. Boycott and they will lower back down

I hope they go out of business, then ATI comes back with some legitimate CPUs and GPUs. Not just rebrands.

No one is just gonna stop PC gaming and GPUs are necessary for gaming and computing so sure as hell people need it.

Why stop? Older gpus will be on the internet for months, that will run games just fine. it will be for a short period of time, but still will show something.

If they put at a lower price they prob could make more money.

Terrible terrible terrible things

Intel isn't going to go into the discrete GPU market, they're too afraid of anti-trust.

 

And GPUs aren't really optional for gaming...

Not in the future they won't. Try running your 8k panels on a 295x2, or even 2 of them.

idk why companies crazy

if i was Nivida happy people= happy customers= more money.

Discontinued GPUs are gonna be very limited it's not like lots people are gonna get their hands one, they probably won't keep up with the increasing game requirements and higher resolutions, most people will put up with the price rises and Nvidia can easily do what they are doing to Kepler and cripple old architectures 

[Pool]

Well, exactly what happens with intel.

 

i7's broadwell are 100$ more expensive than normal i7 while being utterly bad... It is a good thing since previous generations will last longer but once you'll ''have to" update that's going to hurt.

[TetraSky]

no more innovation really, AMD provides competition to drive progress

And they are doing a terrible job at actually competing in the recent years. Especially on the CPU side of things.

I would feel that knowing they would get forced to split up, would be reason enough not to jack prices.............Give em a chance, and if they fuck up, then fuck them up.
