NVIDIA Cancels C60 Integrated Pentium 4 Chipset - Begins New Project

NVIDIA is working hard on its Pentium 4 line of chipsets. It had to cancel the C60 chipset and we saw some unpleasant flaws with C51, Geforce 6150 and 6100 integrated chipsets.

…So maybe ULI can make a good chipset for the Intel market as Nvidia is happy with the AMD end of its business. Nvidia desperately needs an entry level Pentium 4 chipset as this is where the money is.

There were various issues with the C51 revision of the nVidia chipset that prevented it from being able to storm the market like nForce4 for Athlons did. nVidia is working hard on that, though. The C60 revision was canceled, and they’ve recently acquired Uli as we’ve heard.

Now, with ATI partnering with Intel, nVidia has their work cut out for them. Whether or not canceling the chipset was a good idea remains to be seen, but nForce for Pentium is still something many enthusiasts would like to see.
