GPU’s are a family business it would seem.
Su’s mother and Nvidia co-founder and former CEO Jensen Huang are first cousins. Su’s maternal grandfather is the eldest brother of Huang’s mother.

Yes, but it’s still a massive coincidence that cousins who never met, a decade a part in age, raised by different families in different parts of the US are both CEOs of the two largest GPU manufacturers in the world.
I agree it’s a hell of a coincidence, but also a hell of a long game and they were both EEs.
Rough timeline:
Back in 2012, both companies were not that significant. Very different from today. Like Intel was worth roughly 8x NVidia and AMD combined.
So did AMD, 6 years after buying NVidia’s biggest rival, intend to hire Huang’s relative to form a GPU cartel? Maybe. There’s plenty of other scenarios where it seems more obvious that things were done because of family connections. I wouldn’t be surprised if it came out that was the case, but I’m on the coincidence side (for now).
