From what we know so far, Intel is believed to be working on its top-secret
"Larabee" project, which is reportedly a high-end discrete graphics card
targeted at gamers, and up until right now, thought to be created completely by
Intel. According to
DigiTimes,
though, NVIDIA might be giving Intel a hand sometime in the near future by
trading its GPU (graphics processor unit) "technology for cooperation with
Intel." Although specific details of the deal were not revealed, and whether the
deal even exists is unknown, DigiTimes quoted various unknown motherboard makers
as saying "Nvidia has had discussions with Intel and has already reached several
agreements." The sources claim that NVIDIA recently met with its partners in
Taiwan to explain its role and plans for the motherboard market. Exactly what
"cooperation" NVIDIA might be looking for and what agreements it reached with
Intel is completely unknown.
