Nvidia Calls Intel’s Graphics Chip Tactics ‘Aggressive’
Now that AMD and Intel have made amends, Nvidia is making some noise about Intel’s perceived quest for graphics chip domination.
Advanced Micro Devices is not the only large Intel competitor to rail against Intel’s alleged strong-arm tactics.
Nvidia has also complained loudly for years about Intel business practices in the graphics chip market, where Intel commands about 50 percent of the market.
Nvidia is the world’s leading supplier of “discrete,” or standalone, graphics chips but takes a distant second place in overall market share to Intel, which supplies “integrated” graphics built into the chipsets that accompany all of its processors. Mercury Research estimates the total market for graphics chips, including integrated graphics, at almost $10 billion in 2009.
