Some time ago, Nvidia lost the right to continue to make chipsets for Intel. This meant that Nvidia could not make any chipsets for the latest Nehalem processors. With AMD and Intel integrating the memory controller, and other functions, onto the CPU, the market for third party chip makers has decreased.
Nvidia Corp. confirmed early on Thursday that it had combined the core-logic and system-on-chip development teams. The move will considerably enlarge the amount of engineering resources for development of next-generation Tegra system-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
“We have merged these teams under the Tegra development team. This substantially strengthens our engineering effort for Tegra development going forward,” said Ken Brown, a spokesman for Nvidia.
