Nvidia Vs. Intel in the CPU Processor Industry?
Nvidia has grand plans, and the grandest one of all is to take over the CPU processor industry and leave Intel in the dark. Industry insiders have known for the longest time that Nvidia believes the computers of the future will not require both a CPU chip and a seperate video card component to run graphically intensive computer games, but instead just one single processor that can handle all those functions and Nvidia believes they are in a very good position to develop them. This type of thinking goes back to Nvidia’s Diamond Edge 3D days, when they developed their first line of video cards to be all-in-one components with built-in joystick ports and built-in audio capabilities. Nvidia has already developed a CPU/GPU hybrid in the APX2500, a mobile cell-phone processor, and they have a line of motherboards in the NForce, so it’s obvious the company isn’t just focusing on GPUs. If you are a betting man, bet that Nvidia will unveil a series of desktop and laptop GPU/CPU processors one day.
