[citation][nom]jazn1337[/nom]Does this mean Nvidia is going to blame Intel for delaying Fermi over half a year and for turning Fermi into a grill?[/citation]

Quit trolling this article had nothing remotely to do with Fermi it's about integrated graphics. Nvidia is correct Intel is screwing the consumers right to choice over. Their anti competitive bundling for the Atom platform is pretty shameful as well.
 
Nvidia has exactly ZERO friends in the technology community right now. They can keep running their mouth, but it won't hide the fact that the company is in a really sad state at the moment. Tegra's success is exagerated and the new GTX 400 series is unprofitable at best in its current form. Keep accusing everyone else of being your problem while you do things like put out phony fermi pictures.

I wouldn't call this trolling, he makes a good point that this is just a blame game. Yes, Intel has made some anti-competitive moves, but didnt the EU just smack them with a nice fine for that?
 
[citation][nom]pepperman[/nom]Unfortunately NVidia can't start manufacturing x86(/x64) cpus due to licensing issues. NVidia would have to buy a company with an x86(/x63) contract (such as VIA, as its unlikely to buy Intel or AMD).[/citation]

I think it was actually mentioned here on Tom's that it won't help either: once Nvidia buys a company with x86 license, the license will be nullified by the acquisition. Not sure what the license terms are and what the law says about this sort of thing, and while company acquisitions shouldn't void existing contracts and commitments the purchased company has, it is possible that Intel can claim that the license is non-transferable and block Nvidia from making x86 CPUs indefinitely.
 
I don't use Nvidia GPUs, but it's about time Intel as a company stops being a complete immoral dungbag about the situation. They are just as bad as Apple has been going about dealing with their issues these days. Notice how AMD allows Nvidia chipsets on their boards. And plus the Nvidia chipsets aren't even that great! So its not like Intel is going to loose everything they ever owned.

The FCC might be coming into play again sometime soon depending on how this progresses or de-progresses for that matter. Nvidia is going through a rough patch, okay its more than a rough patch, its like a sand bunker....at the bottom of a hill, with wind in your face...

So, I do feel a little bad, but they will have to fight themselves out of it and not depend on everything and everybody else.

 
Nvidia once started this with Intel. I guess they did not realize how much they actually needed intel. Most Intel notebooks I see have Intel GMA anyway. So most makers take the cheapest path anyway. I DO agree that even NV onboard is better then Intels, but they did kind of start this them selves.
 
[citation][nom]JohnnyLucky[/nom]Sounds like Nvidia missed the opportunity to get a piece of the action and they're not happy about it.[/citation]

Um, ATI is in the same boat in this regards. Nobody missed a boat, Intel never put water in the pond.

Just because Nvidia is the one being vocal about the chipset situation with the newer processors doesn't mean it only negatively impacts them.

Way for everyone to poo poo on something that impacts both companies in a bad way just because of who said it. Oh wait, this is Tom's.. Where everything is ATI all the time or there is much crying.
 
Sucks for nvidia. I'm no fan either. Might be better for them to just make their own lineup.
 
May be nvidia could try making chipsets supporting both amd and intel cpu's.!! Skeptical one might say but hey, both crossfire and sli are available in the same motherboard.. Nvidia has made chipsets for both amd and intel before.. It'd be revolutionary none the less..
 
Nvidia allows Intel to have SLI support with the new Core i* series but now Intel is denying them the right to make chipsets for the new series?

What a bunch of pricks at Intel.

No, actually from the terms it the license between AMD and Intel, the license is transferable. But it has to be publicly stated, by the company being purchased, that they are leaving the x86 market, and transferring their rights under the license to the other company. Then nvidia could buy out the other company to acquire their related IP.
 
Intel might be doing nvidia a favour. Leave the other stuff to the companies that can actually do them well and concentrate on the one thing you 'can' do, rebrand.
 
[citation][nom]zoozooII[/nom]Nvida should be talking they are having trouble getting their drivers working with Windows 7! (Nvidia kernel mode stop working}[/citation]

OOohh... I just bought the new fusion gamer system! It so so smooth, cuts so close and hasn't nicked me yet!

[citation][nom]milktea[/nom]When I buy a low end device with IGP, I don't care what GPU brand it uses. As long as I get the device for less $$$. And I doubt Nvidia is able to compete with Intel on the CPU/GPU integration.Future doesn't look good for Nvidia.[/citation]

While i agree i also dont care when i buy something cheap. Honestly i preffer it be ati or nvidia over anything intel. Nvidia has much better integrated solutions then intel in this area. Intel doesnt sell more becuase they are better its becuase you almost litteraly have no choice when buying something with thier cpu's in it.
 
I haven't had a decent desktop nforce board since nforce 4 back when AMD was still the cpu to have. I bought a 680i and 750i board so I could go sli with my q6600 and wow was I sad I did. Intel has always made the best intel chipsets and now that they support sli and crossfire there is no going back. x58 ftw
 
Now that I've said that I realize this article was more about ultra low end igps.. To which I say, you don't really want what's down there anyway. If you do, AMD still makes fantastics chips and there are still integrated graphics solutions for them from nvidia (I believe). If not, there are from AMD and I'd be willing to wager AMD makes the best AMD chipsets too. With integrated graphics your performance is going to suck anyway so who cares?
 
Intel wants to promote their integrated graphics and prefers a public that is unaware of the benefits that discrete graphics chips provides for gaming, video viewing or editing, etc. NVidia coming out with ION and graphics on dual atom cores outperforms any integrated graphics Intel has to offer... NVidea doesn't dictate screen size and other requirement to buy their chips which affects 'netbook' computers.
