Nvidia and Microsoft continue to play friendly competitors in the AR space. Holoportation is quite similar to Nvidia's Virtual Eye tech, and MS [s]is using some of Nvidia's optics tech[/s] [EDIT: is using Nokia's tech to compete with Nvidias AR tech] in the Hololens. Could Nvidia get big enough that Microsoft wouldn't buy them?
- dexwiz 10y agoNvidia's market cap is $50 billion, which is 5 times Microsoft's biggest acquisition, Skype at $8.5 billion. Microsoft sources parts from many companies. They are a software company, not a hardware company, at their core. It's good to have partners with different markets. They don't need complete vertical integrations.
- Nelkins 10y agoI thought Microsoft acquired LinkedIn for around $26 billion?
- trsohmers 10y agoThere are no NVIDIA parts in the Hololens... It uses a ULV Intel processor with integrated graphics, along with what Microsoft calls a "holographic processing unit" which is built by Microsoft, but utilizes slightly customized Tensilica cores for DSP offload.
- doublerebel 10y agoOops it was Nokia's EPE optics I was thinking of, not Nvidia.
