    Who wants to bet unknown party is Nvidia. They are already in the cross hairs for antitrust over their market share. It is absolutely in their best interest to bank roll a minimal competition to avoid interference. With AMD announcing they are backing off of the bleeding edge, they were absolutely firing a massive shot across the bow of Nvidia while polishing the guillotine blade. 80% market share and no competition is a death knell.

      It would be a bold move. Knowing that Intel and AMD backed off because of Nvidia not supporting transitional layers, it wouldn’t entirely help them with antitrust regulators, since they would just be enforcing their own monopoly.
