Nvidia, chipset solo per AMD
Nvidia ha tentato in precedenza di produrre chipset anche per piattaforme Intel, ma la nota casa produttrice di cpu non ha voluto cedere le varie licenze alla Nvidia, che ora più che mai è convinta della sua scelta, produrre, oltre a chip per schede video, chipset per piattaforme AMD.
The company also plans a follow-on to its nForce chipset, which works with Advanced Micro Devices' Athlon processors but not with Intel's Pentium 4. Huang said the company will continue to focus on chipsets for that market, rather than pursue a license to work with Intel's chips.
Huang said the Athlon market represents about 30 million PCs a year, with Nvidia getting revenue in the "mid-$20s to mid-$30s" for each nForce chipset. Plus, he said, you don't have the risk of competing with Intel's own chipsets, as is the case in the Pentium 4 market.
