NVIDIA bypasses chipset

NVIDIA was forced out of the chipset market to make too many people feel sorry and helpless, but NVIDIA will not give up. According to sources from motherboard makers, NVIDIA is developing a new chipset product that combines Southbridge chips and GPU graphics cores into one.

Allegedly, the purpose of NVIDIA's move is to reduce the overall cost of the PC, while allowing the computing device to be more compact and lighter.

Industry sources pointed out that with the recent decision of the Federal Trade Commission of the United States to require Intel to fully open up market competition, the possibility of NVIDIA getting authorization to participate in the chipset business has increased, but at least in the near future, Intel did not restart with NVIDIA. Plans for related negotiations.

To this end, NVIDIA decided to detour, to avoid Intel Sandy Bridge's new processor architecture and licensing restrictions, the South Bridge chip, GPU portfolio into a new chipset products. Because Intel has already transferred all functions of Northbridge to the processor's internals, the so-called chipset is actually a Southbridge. NVIDIA's chips can be directly replaced and the price is cheaper by 10-15 US dollars.

However, preliminary tests show that the performance of the Intel Sandy Bridge processor's own graphics core is already very strong. NVIDIA must use additional chips instead of having to do better in terms of performance, power consumption, and features. Went to support from motherboard manufacturers and PC vendors. This road does not look too good.
