NVIDIA comment on today’s FTC action against Intel

By

NVIDIA president and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang provided the following comment today in a blog post in response to the U.S. Federal Trade Commissions legal action against Intel.

“We support todays action by the FTC, which has fully recognized Intels behavior as an impediment to progress in the computer industry and to consumer choice. As the FTC states, when Intel fell behind in innovation within its core CPU market, it moved to smother competition in the GPU marketplace. This has curbed innovation and investment, and reduced consumer choice. The GPU is critical for common applications like graphics, video and photo processing. Todays filing is sorely needed to stop Intel from using unlawful tactics to lock out the GPU and block consumers from its revolutionary benefits.
