Platformization threatens Taiwan chipset makers
I just saw this article over at Digitimes and it talks directly about Intel's domination of the chipset market and if it is a good or bad thing. The even bring up some Intel P4 chipset problems: static electricity, compatibility of the USB port, burnt-out southbridges and other touchy subjects that Intel has never confirmed. A very good read for those who like to follow industry trends.
with growth in the PC market slowing down, and Intel still dominating CPU standards, the Taiwan PC chipset sector, whose product development has been lagging behind, is finding that its market is rapidly shrinking. International graphics card vendors Nvidia and ATI Technologies, both of whom have much richer resources than the Taiwan makers, are also actively developing the chipset market. Even Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), who has long been absent from the chipset market, has hinted that it may make a comeback in 2007. The chipset market is getting more crowded, promising an even harder time for the Taiwan players.
