AMD Loses NVIDIA Monopoly

November 22nd 2004 | nForce4 Intel

The new deal is broad ranging, allowing nVidia to license Intel’s front side bus technology so that it can build integrated chipsets for motherboards, but also leaving the door open for co-operation on other fronts. Nvidia is keen to get into the integrated graphics market, which Intel currently dominates.

The deal could have ramifications for Intel’s plans to build chipsets for the next generation of home entertainment PCs, which will combine TV, video, DVD and hi-fi functionality. Integrated graphics will be a key component in these systems and the growth of the market will be lucrative for Intel partners.
