Possible Intel and NVIDIA Agreement - Hardware Upgrade



Possible Intel and NVIDIA Agreement Gabriel Ikram - 07/05/2007, 20:04 "Although Intel's disrete graphics dreams are unknown for the time being, speculation has already arisen that NVIDIA might have reached agreements with Intel that will trade its GPU technology for cooperation with the blue giant. "

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.
