GPU's are a family business it would seem.

Su's mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su's maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang's mother.

    Not really ! My family is full of musicians, just because it's an habit of the family. Maybe the technology is the same for them ?

    And my family is all engineers too. That's not the comparison. The French and English were always fueding, but French and English royalty intermarried.

    AMD and nVidia are direct competitors. Corporations today are essentially microfeudalist societies without strict borders. The CEOs are the "top executive brass" of the company owners. The company owners, usually the people make up the board, are the top stakeholders.

    In our modern age of corporate feudalism, Royalty is the billionaire class. Executives and board members of publicly traded companies are the nobility. Just like in Feudal Europe, Royalty can have as much power and oversight as they desire, and nobility is often granted quite a bit of power dependant on wealth and benefit to royalty.

    One greater family controlled both France and England. One greater family controlled both AMD and nVidia.
