Intel to Pay Nvidia Technology Licensing Fees of $1.5 Billion
- jakozaur 16y agoKilling NVIDIA's chipset business seems to cost Intel a few bucks...
- earl 16y agoDoes anybody have a clear answer as to nVidia's right to make Intel chipsets for i7, etc? "Intel will pay Nvidia for access to its patent portfolio, which includes its GPU and supercomputing technology. In addition to the cash, Nvidia will also get access to parts of Intel's patent portfolio, including patents covering microprocessors and chipsets. However, the deal excludes proprietary Intel x86 designs, and some other areas like flash memory." [1] Unfortunately, this doesn't really clear it up for me...

- wmf 16y agoNvidia does not have a license to make chipsets, and it would be pointless if they did since chipsets are now boring.
