Hardware, Embedded Systems NVIDIA's aspirations to enter the general purpose processor market may never have been clearly spelled out by the company before, but it was getting more and more obvious as each week passed by. Now, it's pretty much official: NVIDIA says it's not a question of "if", but "when".

last time someone tried to compete with Intel..

AMD comes out with their AM386
TI comes out with a clone 486dx
NEC ships V20 and V30
RISC looks to unseat Intel

and even 10 years before that under the second sourcing by Intel/IBM when dozens also mfg clones.

None today (with a small exception of AMD)
have been able to compete and survive against
Intel. Not that Intel has been evil in its
business plans... its just Semi is a brutal
business to be in.
