What if AMD takes double-digit AI-GPU share, breaking the monopoly?
A competitive accelerator roadmap and software stack lets the number-two vendor win double-digit AI-GPU share, ending single-vendor pricing and compressing sector margins.
Every number ships with its receipt — the odds, the range, the precedents, and a public grade at Reality Check. The statistical machinery that produces it is proprietary.

Our model's odds (electric blue) over time vs the market's (Polymarket, amber), from the past toward the 6–18 months horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. Loading the probability audit trail…
What it would mean
If this plays out, it is a mixed shock. A competitive accelerator roadmap and software stack lets the number-two vendor win double-digit AI-GPU share, ending single-vendor pricing and compressing sector margins. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — AI capex ▼ · Risk appetite ▲ · Semiconductor supply risk ▲ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.
