Its like car racing today- sometimes being the best isn't being technically perfect, but just knowing how close you can push your machine to the brink of failure without actually disabling it.
Self solving problem then
They always look beyond the next quarter. Thata kind of their whole thing actually, finding the leaks risky things to insure so they never have to pay out.
Insurance can look at long term statistics and say if you don't get the vaccine, your premiums will double.
Pretty easy, just resize in gimp to something ridiculous like 40000x40000 and save as png.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but...
AMD has, as far as I understand, been outcompeting Nvidia on value for a good while.
And yet their market share doesn't increase. Because Nvidia holds a stranglehold on both the software (CUDA, RTX support, frame gen, etc) AND sheer brand recognition- gamers always complain about Nvidia and want better AMD cards, but continue to line up in droves to buy Nvidia cards no matter what.
Nvidia knows they can do whatever the fuck they want right now.
AMD is a puppydog that follows Nvidia around on the open market with 10% or less market share. If Nvidia constricts supply and causes a massive price jump and shortages, AMD will just follow the pricing curve and we will still get no GPU's.
AMD is also 100% reliant on TSMC and VRAM suppliers, the same exact supply pressures causing Nvidia to turn off the consumer tap will come for AMD too.
Option two is not correct, option one is correct. This announcement is specifically for consumer gaming GPU's only, it does not affect institutional datacenter customers.
This is Nvidia saying "thanks small fry, you were useful, but we're leaving you behind now. Fight for the scraps." Complete cartel behavior.
Also some of us are stuck with necessary stupid software that has no Linux releases and doesn't run in proton/wine yet.
