If i was Nvidia i'd be quite willing to keep making and selling chipsets as long as AMD wanted them.

That would be excellent business sense. "Despite what our customers - the people who throw money at us - may want, we're going to give AMD the finger and stop making chipsets for them. So THERE!"

Are you going to assume that NVIDIA will stop making chipsets for Intel chips because (gasp!) Intel makes their own chipsets and (double gasp!) even makes fairly competent graphics hardware?

Yes.

It would be foolish to stop just because AMD has their own graphics division. In fact, it's almost a feather in the hat for nVidia. They're selling chipsets to the owner of their biggest competitor.

Motherboard makers buy them and build motherboards, AMD has little to say about this (maybe they have some patents on it which could be used to shut it down though). Thu, 08 May 2008 07:10:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bimbo) Comments AMD Roadmap http://osnews.com/thread?313464 http://osnews.com/thread?313464 Nothing big & exciting - but considering they are trying to survive (also mentioned in the AMD v Intel court cases on ars technica) it will hopefully be enough to gather strength i.e. money again .

I must say I haven't read of any really new things technologically from Intel or AMD .

AMD's Fusion should be cool ,but now quite a few years still away it seems .

Intel with all the money isn't bringing out anything drastically new in the next years either .

All really exciting things from either two are still a few years away .

How come everybody else in the chip industry is bringing out cool new things ,but AMD & Intel aren't ?

Is there no incentive to do new things for Intel in normal x86 computing ?

Also ,what about the chip partnerchip between AMD & IBM (? & Toshiba) - I expected more to come from that .Edited 2008-05-08 12:08 UTC Thu, 08 May 2008 12:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (poohgee) Comments RE: AMD Roadmap http://osnews.com/thread?313467 http://osnews.com/thread?313467 How come everybody else in the chip industry is bringing out cool new things ,but AMD & Intel aren't ?

Just wait til people start licensing the memristor technology from HP! I do bet things will start looking pretty interesting then ;) Also, it should apply to quite a lot of things, not only to processor technology but to storage, memory, various chipsets..It is probably a few years away though.

Well, it blurs the lines completely between RAM and hard storage, and that really is pretty interesting. Thu, 08 May 2008 13:07:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (segedunum) Comments Portuguese http://osnews.com/thread?313491 http://osnews.com/thread?313491 São Paulo has a tilde! :-)

Then again, it might be closer than we think. Depending on the election in the US, we might see a renewed effort by the US administration on encouraging investment into bleeding edge technologies such as memristor - which could mean coming on stream a lot earlier.

Even with that being said, there are new things coming out at record speed; what we think could be 2 years ago - in a few months, a technology might be developed to bring it from 2 years to 6 months. Having lived through 16 years of technology improvement, I don't doubt the will of the market place and the drive of the capitalist to want to come up with a better widget.

So I'd say Nvidia should keep making chipsets as long as their customers want them. Letting your competitor decide what products you make generally isn't a good idea.

Instead of having a low-end GPU in the chipset, you'll have a low-end GPU in the processor. Shrug.

Sounds like the start of a great rumor! Thu, 08 May 2008 21:08:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (FunkyELF) Comments RE: of course http://osnews.com/thread?313563 http://osnews.com/thread?313563 Intel's graphic chips are the lowest common denominator, crap.

Because Intel can make 45nm parts, they could be a formidable competitor to Nvidia, but up to this point, they make lousy graphic chips, for the uninformed masses.

I'm pretty excited about Nehalem. Quickpath and no more FSB should be nice. Of course, since that's basically how AMD has done it for years, one could easily say it isn't drastically new.

Perhaps the dynamic overclocking? I'm a little shaky on the details, but apparently if there is a thread running that is chewing up CPU, one of the cores can be overclocked and the other(s) shut off to keep the whole thing within normal thermal limits.

Maybe someday Larrabee will be something ;) Sat, 10 May 2008 02:24:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (MamiyaOtaru) Comments
