Nice that Nvidia fights back to Intel

Whoa!this is looking cooler than rap battles.

David, meet Goliath... Goliath, David...

(anticipates what is going to ensue)

I'd like to give a holla out to Andrew Daum!

I dont know why I find it so amusing to see Nvidia essentially smarting off to Intel. Cant decide if it is brave or stupid.

zzZZZ... about as entertaining as a political debate...

-intel- "our processor works way better!"
-Nvidia- "Nuh uh!"
-intel- "don't use their processor, or you won't get the full Windows experience!"
-Nvidia- "you mean all the bugs? they fixed those... "

I'd re-word that as:

Intel: our chipset is just as good and better than nvidia's..it can do everything nvidia's can, with lower power!
nvidia: Um...yeah...that's bs and you know it

I feel worse about any OEMs out there who would actually listen to Intel praise their own product, rather than make a decision for themselves. People don't care about Atom vs. Nano vs Whatever, they want functionality and affordability.

If your battery time drops form 6 hours to 5, but you can watch movies on your netbook or use a nettop as HDPC, why wouldn't you want an Ion? Intel has no solution whatsoever for the multimedia field. Their best desktop GPU can't even support blue-ray decoding, like their integrated Pineview core is going to be that much of an improvement.

AMD thinks its very smart.

Lol, I love it when large companies are smartass towards otheres. That last page with the via article is hillarious.

i just love this development...time to get more choices at lower prices..yeah...

VIA Ftw ^_^

Im loving my Nanos ^_^ I picked up two pico-itx, great little hobgoblins compared to the orc Atoms.

honestly i think intel is shooting them selves in the foot on this one.

consider this ... intels only competetition in the processor market is AMD a competitor that has shown, in the past, that is can beat intel at it's own game.

also , AMD own ATI now giving AMD much more revenue in the long run to give intel more future surprises.

Intel DOES NOT own any video chip company, nor have any of ther "on board" chips ever been worth two sh--s.

to alienate a strong graphic chip company instead of trying to partner up with them ... is beyound arrogant and ludicrious. nvidia is in a position to really damage intel at this point , if intel keeps this up nvidia coudl go as far as leanign all thier products infavor of amd processors .. sure amd is thier competitor .. but so far AMD hasn't done ANY thing to make nvidia's job harder, while intel is doing so at every turn.

Yeah Intel might be big, but is really ramming their head against a wall on this one. To fight a graphics company that wants to HELP YOU MAKE MONEY! Don't know how came up with that idea....

Imagine this....

Intel pisses off Nvidia

Nvidia no longer supports Intel chips on their board (bye bye SLI)

Nvidia pairs with VIA to create a Desktop CPU with improved graphics capablitiy and SLI

AMD/ATI pull the same stunt Intel is trying and not allow uses to use their GPUs with Intel CPUs (to really kill Intel)

Now Intel is stuck with their own graphics and no discrete cards....

Disclaimer:
Will never happen, but would give Intel a taste of their own medicine

from my heart i would realy wanna see that but ofc it won`t happen

I just love that last slide with the huge nano icon

well yeah , given the current companies involved and thier pasts no my scenario isn't likely to happen... AMD is after all Nvidia's only real competition in the descrete graphics hardware market.
the point i'm making is Intel is treading ... no stomping , on very thin ice rather arogantly , becuase they are relying on the fact that nvidia won't go over to AMD because AMD is nvidia's competion even more so than intel is. the 3 most likely out comes are ....


1. intel sucks up to nivida later (or sooner) in the desktop market some how and nvidia and intel keep thier generally freindly feelings they have had for each other over the years.

or

2. intel continues thier anit nvida campainge because they might acutlaly be hiding a video card under thier belt they plan to release soon ????


or

3. Nivida being the 800 lbs gorrilla they are , get sick of intel and AMD , and start making thier own processors that are specifically designed to work better in a game and or 3d modeling enviroment.

i'd say it is neither .. more to the point , i'd say it is absolutely Nessicary!!!

it's like a high school play ground you can't let teh bigger kids take your lunch and bend to them , or they will continue to do so for the rest of your life.

i mean seriously what the heck is Intel really gonna do to them ? intel can't make graphic chips to save their life , thier only CPU competitor own the second (and sometimes leading ) graphic chip maker...

The company you should ask this question of is "Is intel stupid or brave for pissing off nivida?"


ask me i'd have to say the answer is stupid intel is pissing off thier only ally in a battle that is harshly fought with every new advancment. and given how AMD HAS beat teh living snot outta intel before they should be lookign to keep what allies they have , not chase those allies off

Remember the first time Intel fked me up was their I740 chip video card.... it sucked so hard.... anyway, now, i got fked up again with their 950g mobile video chip.... i don't wanna to be fked again and again, unless i can get a machine with either ATI or Nvidia chip, i rather use pen and paper.

I just listened to the most recent episode of the AVault Podcast in which we had the director of PR for NVIDIA Derek Perez was on as a guest. It can be found at our site at http://podcast.avault.com. He had some choice words to say about Intel. I thought it was hilarious too. One of the hosts asked if he thought his CEO could beat Intel's CEO in a street fight. He said NVIDIA's would win. Hilarious!
