Intel's not happy with Nvidia's funnies.

We know that the relationship between Nvidia and Intel these days is slightly adversarial. Of course, companies compete with each other on many levels all the time, and sometimes they aren't above mud slinging.
Nvidia has erected a parody site called IntelsInsides that plays host to a small collection of satirical cartoons.
"[The site] is satirical in nature, and attempts to have a bit of fun with what is quite a serious issue," said Bob Sherbin, Nvidia's head of corporate communications, to ExtremeTech.
Sherbin was referring to Intel's alleged use of incentives for its partners to use Intel chips at the expense of AMD. "The spotlight is on them regarding this issue, and so they are a very obvious target," he said.
Expectantly, Intel isn't pleased. Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said the representations of Intel were not accurate.
"It's not cute, it's not accurate, it is Nvidia being Nvidia," Mulloy wrote.
Thus far there have only been five cartoons, which have been reproduced here. Let us know what you think!

2D is something we take for granted when we're shopping for a new GPU. But if you do a lot of work on your desktop (and don't we all?), it bears a little more attention. We spent some time testing 2D performance and came up with some surprising results. Read More

Funny XD not exactly good business practice though
I'll admit that much
Good for Nvidia!
As the saying goes, the best humor is based on truth.
I can't believe Intel has been allowed to get away with it's monopolistic business practices for so long.
So completely unimportant it is a shock anyone would bother... Stick with hard evidence not silly cartoons. Nvidia seems the petulant child with this kind of silly crud....
Taking potshots at the big guy is SOP - and big guys trying to use their size to get bigger is also SOP.
Free Speech and Capitalism in action... entertaining and enlightening.
So this is what multi billion dollar companies do on their spare time..
Very Funny stuff. About time Nivdia showed a sense of humor.
Thing i don't get is why Nvidia has these cartoons up, shouldn't AMD be the one with the cartoons?

Well, nVidia is pretty cheesed with Intel and I don't blame them. I'm sure AMD is none too happy with Intel either but recently Intel has just slapped nVidia right square in the face.
Always a blast to poke fun.
This is hilarious lol.. way to go NVIDIA!

Don't underestimate the power of editorial cartoons.
uh oh nvidia needs to watch out, intel might sell their video cards to dell and give them 1.2 billion a year for doing it!!
This is a very childish act
Honestly who cares. AMD is the one leading these days. The new radeon's are just amazing. I'm a AMD fan boy once again :-)
Has anyone tried to game with an intel video card? Yikes!
Nice cartoons, what else can you do nVidia? You failed with every console maker, and slow fade away because we gamers are fed up with your 'change your hardware' every 6 months to play the best 'games'. Crysis is not a game by the way.
It's one thing for the media (newspapers, etc) to make cartoons like this. But generally I think it's a stupid idea for nVidia to be doing this. Especially with ongoing litigation between Intel & nVidia over different competitive things.
In all reality, Intel and nVidia shouldn't be fighting each other. In some sense, they are equally competitors against ATI/AMD. This bickering isn't helping either of them.
I always knew Intel never played fair. Intel's P4's after Northwood were a POS. Not until Core2 did Intel have a good CPU again. But why were AMD chips not more available in OEM products? Intel's underhanded business practices thats why.
kinda stupid and childish IMO, but I WOULD very much like to see more of a healthy competition in the CPU industry especially.
One day, AMD and nVidia may merge...
Wait, that's a horrible idea.
lol, good one nvidia. but not enough seeing as how Intel stabbed you in the back. (note:they also twisted the knife by making the chipset less important and then left it there)
Where is Fermi?
I think I might have finally found a new wallpaper.
while you sit there poking fun at Intel, Intel is hard at work with Larrabee. It is trying hard to catch up fast. And when it does, who will have the last laugh? Humor won't win the war for you. Go and work on that x86 cpu and show Intel what you can do!
Pwnt. x3 Always loved Nvidia as a preference always will , I am disappointed in they're mainstream progress lately , but I will just have to as always wait.
All for NVidia products, but grow up Nvidia. Apparently you have too much money and time to spend on unprofessional business crap like this - though amusing. Please focus your time, energy and money on provide your customers with a better product, sooner. Besides, this crap does not even phase Intel one bit.

It sounds like it's phasing them to me.
you guys are acting like Nvidia is pulling engineers and R&D money off its graphics card to make this. Its a little cartoon and its funny. Its not like Intel cant handle or deserve for that matter, a little joke at they're exspense.
these cartoons are great .. remeber kids , mudslinging is only mudslinging when it's not true !!!
Wait, is this some kind of joke? Where are the FUNNY cartoons? These don't lampoon so much as ... I don't know what they're doing.

you obviously don't udnerstand teh full anture of teh beast that is intel ... Nivida was quite willign to work with intel equally against thier competition , but , intel didnt want that. what intel wants is to make thier own video card , eliminate nivdia and then try to eliminate amd/ati, theya re going for nothign less than total market domination with any thing processor related (this include graphic processors)
HA HA HA. You know when you pull a prank on your closest buddy.. it's funny..

Wait, I thought Intel and nVidia are BFFs? (*wink* *wink*)
