Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is ready to do battle against Intel.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is a bold leader who doesn't appear to be afraid of Intel. In fact, in a recent interview, Huang told Fortune that he's looking forward to the court date with Intel.
In fact, the CEO said that he's confident that Nvidia will prevail over Intel when things are presented before a judge. The interviewer asked Huang if the company had considered a settlement with Intel, but the CEO said that there wasn't any reason to go that route as Intel's argument for its control over the chipset business is "completely nonsense."

Is that the reason the newest GPU Nvidia has for notebooks is still a G92 part? What does that have to do with Intel?
Also, Nvidia lost out on chipsets because theirs sucked compared to Intel's...AFAIK, that's pretty fair.
No more nVidia chipsets, no... just no...
Besides if nVidia totally gives up on the chipset business AMD might be able to enable SLI on their boards, which is the best case scenario for both AMD and the consumer.
But really, no nVidia chipsets, never again...
Because that's a pretty large part of their business. For AMD stuff (even though I wouldn't get one) and for socket 775 (and possibly some laptop stuff)
No, they literally had a deal with intel that basically allowed them to make chipsets in general for any kind of socket that they would make. Intel then said that the agreement had to do with a specific bus type only, and made up a new one. Then didn't give nvidia what they would need for the i5 or i7 sockets because it somehow no longer applied. Effectively nvidia can't make chipsets at all for those.
The quality of chipsets is quite irrelevant when it comes to something like this. That's like saying let's ban VIA from making anything because they can't keep up with intel, amd/ati, or nvidia.
I didn't say Nvidia shouldn't develop chipsets...I just don't think they should be complaining if their product doesn't compete well with the competitions'.
both of them practice bad business that is harmful to consumers... they both seek monopoly and killing competition.
Intel - "True" GPU on the CPU socket
Nvidia - Real GPU on the chipset
What would you want?
Remember, this is only meaningful for notebook users..
I really think that Intel wants to push Nvidia out of the integrated GPU business with the integrated GPUs.
I would want a non restricted platform. Specially if I could get some real 3D performance over the huge disapointment of the "Intel HD graphics"...
