I know Intel is dipping its toe into the GPU market, but let's be real, AMD and nVidia are the only options and have been for the last 20+ years. The manufacturers/assemblers of the complete graphics cards are varied and widespread, but the core tech comes from two companies only.

Why is this the case? Or am I mistaken and am just brainwashed by marketing, and there are in fact other viable options for GPUs?

Cheers!

    You don't write what market you are describing but:
    The PC market has been dwindling for decades, the PC gaming market has also been dwindling with consoles taking bigger share, and the past 5-10 years due to high GPU prices that have been wildly unstable.
    Lately prices have returned to more normal levels when accounting for inflation, which could explain a bump this year.
    USA is an outlier because of tariffs.
