Sapphire or EVGA, Palit/galaxy who only sold GPU of one Brand have nothing to do with GPP... It is their choices..and it is not resulting of a vast program.. Forcing brands to only sold your GPU's if they want tariffs cut ( and brands who dont, will not have them ofc ), free marketing cost ( Nvidia seems to pay the marketing cost from their pocket ), and bring priority on the retail channel to them.. . etc etc as described in the article seems to look exactly like what was doing Intel in the 90-2000 with Dell, HP etc
lets call distort the concurrences ( not only bettween AMD and Nvidia, but too between the different gpus brand ( Asus, MSI, etc ). What next ? Shop who can only sold one brand, otherwise they dont get enough GPU to sold, have higher prices than their competitors, etc etc ?
Similary, Apple is in trouble for similar practice here in Europe. ( for the smartphone market )
Now, i have absolutely no idea if the article is true..
Not sure what your getting at with the bold. The AIB will need to rebrand to differentiate between AMD and Nvidia.
It is a play on words to say negatively Nvidia is stopping AIB partners selling AMD products, the reality is the partner will still sell both but the negative is the overhead it creates for them due to rebranding-product-market strategy and commited resources rather than it being anti-competitive.
