NVidia has come out with some official comments regarding the earlier statements about them halting chipset development, and they essentially back up what we already knew.
We will continue to innovate integrated solutions for Intel’s FSB architecture. We firmly believe that this market has a long healthy life ahead. But because of Intel’s improper claims to customers and the market that we aren’t licensed to the new DMI bus and its unfair business tactics, it is effectively impossible for us to market chipsets for future CPUs. So, until we resolve this matter in court next year, we’ll postpone further chipset investments for Intel DMI CPUs.
The response serves a dual purpose: Showing that they are still dedicated to innovation and development of chipset technologies, and pinging Intel for “improper claims” regarding the bus architecture.
