Proprietary GPU Connectors...?
Some random thing that popped up for me.

Well, it's known that CPU connectors are "proprietary", eg you need an Intel board to plug in an Intel CPU.
However, GPUs can fit into any standard PCI-e x16 slot, but what are the prospects of a company like AMD going proprietary?

IDK if there's any legalities here or not (if there are, ignore them).

But as AMD now makes CPUs and GPUs, and with the success of their GPUs right now, they may actually be able to gain something from such a lock in.

What do you think?
