At the end of the day it comes down to manufacturing capacity, and has nothing to do with artificial divisions based on the target customer. They will leverage their available capacity to build for the highest bidder. It’s [mostly] that simple.
Now, whether they artificially limited capacity to maximize profit is another area that should be addressed. This is where fair competition is supposed to come into play in a capitalist run society.
How exactly would that work? They still use the same microarchitecture so one would have to license that to the other and they’d also be natural competitors because whoever is left making the consumer chips would naturally want to also partake in the other market
If they were separate divisions in the same company, each with their respective target audiences, it should be fine. Something like Toyota & Lexus for example. Sure you can get a spiffy luxurious Camry, but it’s obviously not the same target audience as an LS450.
And I feel like in time the structure of the architecture in gaming focused cards will deviate from the AI focused ones, which we’re already seeing to some degree.
Nvidia should have split the company into a home consumer company and a separate AI chip company.

FTFY

Doesn’t Samsung work exactly this way?
Still same parent company. And I don’t think their hospitals or warships have much to compete with their memory foundry on.
