| shio said: The future of the hardware market is going to be GPU-less and the we will see single chips work as both CPU and GPU, or CGPU... Intel and AMD are steadily working for that. Intel has Larrabee and AMD has Fusion, but what does Nvidia have? Nothing, Nvidia does not have the infrastructure nor expertise to venture into CPU business, while Intel and AMD have experience on CPU and GPU (the reason why AMD bought ATI) and they will no doubt be the ones to control the entire market. Since Nvidia's bread is going to the shitter, they only have 2 choices: - Try follow Intel and AMD, even though being VERY late to enter the CGPU market trend which would no doubt make Nvidia carry some heavy losses. - Quit chipset business, and focus on other venues. |
I wouldn't agree about Intel... Intel doesn't know much about GPU's because their current GPU's are one of the crappiest in the industry. Some of them can't even run Vista properly. I have never of any good Intel GPU and I doubt there has ever been one.
