Nvidia Merges nForce and Tegra Teams Together
Perhaps for that reason, Nvidia has merged its nForce chipset team together with its Tegra development team. This puts Nvidia's MCP team together with the SoC team to create one big body of 650-strong.
Ken Brown, spokesman for Nvidia, confirmed the change to Xbit Labs by commenting, "We have merged these teams under the Tegra development team. This substantially strengthens our engineering effort for Tegra development going forward."
While this may seem like Nvidia's thrown in the towel when it comes to producing chipsets, company CEO Jen-Hsun Huang is still openly excited about getting to fight Intel in court.
Their MCP team will long be gone, those people cannot just switch teams that easyly.
Until then, let's hope that the bigger Tegra team will kick some ass in the mobile soc market.
I already love the Tegra concept, here's for a badass Tegra3!
sounds like a good idea
If nVidia wins, Intel might even think of integrating USB3 into their chipsets.
That's what you get with a monopoly, what they say goes.
Also, moving chipset makers into a System On a Chip development team seems like a pretty natural thing to do..same work, different scale.
If I get fired, just play for the other team. Intel, Apple, Nvida, MS, they all got deep pockets.
intel sell more graphics chips then AMD/Nvidia combined (by some margin.) Even though they're all integrated and rather lackluster.
