| Jizz_Beard_thePirate said: You know. Now that I think about it, this Nvidia-Intel partnership makes sense when you realize Nvidia has zero steak in the PC handheld market. Putting Nvidia GPUs in normal Intel CPU doesn't make much sense because then Intel cpus will cost a significant premium and be paired with an dedicated Nvidia or Radeon GPU anyway. Nvidia could try with Arm but as we seen from Qualcomms attempts, there's a lot of compatibility and driver issues there too. And while Intel has an APU already in the handheld space, drivers will always be an issue. But if Intel and Nvidia partner up and make an APU to combat the APUs that AMD has been making... Oh boy. I am sure it will still cost a premium but if Nvidia's current market share taught us anything, it's people are willing to pay extra for Nvidia. |
I think Nvidia thinking like everything they do these days is more about data centers/AI. My guess is Nvidia realize there are situations where x86 is a better option then ARM and it would be to there benefit to have intel build x86 cpus optimize to work in nvidia server racks etc.
