As long as AMD wants to buy them nVidia is going to sell them chipsets. 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.

AMD doesn't buy Nvidia's chipsets; system/mobo vendors buy them. 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.
