Hardware, Embedded Systems The future of integrated graphics processors lies somewhere on the dies of future processors, that much is a certainty. However, this creates a big problem for NVIDIA, whose chipset business will be out, of well, business. Beating everybody to the punch, the company announced yesterday that it is ceasing all development on future chipsets, citing unfair business practices from Intel.

Nvidia should at least consider buying Via. That way they could still keep chipsets like ION around competing in the Netbook/Nettop/embedded market.

After a few yers then they'll be able to get into high end CPU's again.

VIA has crypto acceleration. Can you imagine OpenSolaris on a Nano+9400M ?

Wasn't there some kind of an agreement between Intel and VIA that if someone buys VIA the licenses are not transferred to the buyer?

Well maybe it's not formulated exactly like that, but I remember reading something like that here on OSNews.
