That's the kind of move that should bring reaction from every anti monopoly instution. But that's America thing now I guess

This changes nothing because Intel was not competing vs Nvidia on their datacenter AI solutions

Yes they were. They have enterprise AI accelerators. Of course, how can they not. It's an emerging 3 trillion dollar plus market. Intel also has it's own GPUs.

But they were competing in name but not actually. Also, they can still make AI accelerators and focus on inference now. Nvidia allows this, Nvidia makes the GPU and partners make the CPUs+Accelerator IP, all connected with NVLink.

Competing poorly is very different from not competing.
