NVIDIA Aims To Take Lead In K8 Chipset Market With nForce 4 MCP

October 22nd 2004 | nForce4

With its recent introduction of the PCIe-enabled Nvidia nForce4 media and communication processors (MCP) for Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) processors, Nvidia expects to extend its lead against other chipmakers for the world’s K8 chipset market, said Drew Henry, general manager of platform business at Nvidia, in Taipei recently.

The company is now shipping Nvidia nForce MCPs for all lines of the AMD processor family, and Nvidia currently holds about 45% of the K8 chipset market, Henry said. Third-quarter shipments of Nvidia’s nForce chipsets doubled from the second quarter and will continue increasing rapidly in the fourth quarter, Henry said.

Motherboards and full PC systems featuring nForce 4 MCPs are expected to hit the shelves in November, Henry noted.
