Why? Even when AMD had better performance for cheaper long ago, everyone bought Nvidia instead. If consumers don't care, why should AMD or Intel? Mindshare is hard to beat.

The average consumer is not informed and they equate graphics to Nvidia. On a recent WAN show Linus was pontificating on whether tech reviewers even matter, considering the audience penetration numbers, and even inflating for the one tech person in the family spreading the message, compared to the overall units of cards moved, it was like a drop in the bucket, not even close.

It takes time to alter the course of the market. Intel has been shitting the bed with their CPU-s for over a decade and in that time frame the market has gone from something like 95% Intel, 5% AMD to ~60% Intel, 40% AMD. The average consumer doesn't really care about Intel vs AMD either, but somehow the market has shifted. We just have to hope Nvidia shits the bed for the next decade.

I feel like that discounts Intel's anti competitive practices that were brought to light and litigated. For all we know, that played the biggest role. Granted Ryzen was a massive improvement over Bulldozer, and sure Intel basically stagnated during that time.
