NVIDIA Responds To Allogations on Leaving The Chipset Business

NVIDIA has responded to the DIGITIMES news post by sending out this statement directly to media sources through e-mail. The e-mail was hsort and to the point. It basically says that NVIDIA is staying in the chipset business and has no plans on leaving as they are gaining market share.

1. The story on Digitimes is completely groundless. We have no intention of getting out of the chipset business.
2. In fact, our MCP business is as strong as it ever has been for both AMD and Intel platforms:
a. Mercury Research has reported that the NVIDIA market share of AMD platforms in Q2 08 was 60%. We have been steady in this range for over two years.
b. SLI is still the preferred multi-GPU platform thanks to its stellar scaling, game compatibility and driver stability.
c. nForce 790i SLI is the recommended choice by editors worldwide due to its compelling combination of memory performance, overclocking, and support for SLI. In fact, a recent article on Tom’s Hardware recently came to the same conclusion: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/NVIDIA-790i-SLI,1977-29.html
3. We're looking forward to bring new and very exciting MCP products to the market for both AMD and Intel platforms.
