Nvidia Buy Out VIA
Has Nvidia really bought out VIA the eastern based hardware company? Well No! The CEO of Nvidia Jen-Hsun Huang today told Cnet that they have no interest what so ever in buying VIA. I can imagine why the hype was created within the hardware community, with Intel and AMD looking to offer integrated chipset graphics Nvidia need to strategically move into the C.P.U markets.
As we are aware VIA have pushed newer technology to all sectors of the computer market by moving ISA into PCI based bus systems. They have also created memory, motherboard based architecture and even processors.
Now I can imagine why speculation was created between the two companies. Huang had to disagree with the comment. He stated that his motive was to be totally devoted to the graphics market and that Nvidia is a visual computing technology company to which they are completely focused on.
With this said, what will happen to Nvidia’s future? Did Jen-Hsun feel interrogated and pressured by the community? Is the CEO under a lot of pressure because of competition?
Well, with Intels larrabee graphics on the horizon, could Intel take Nvidia’s share of the graphics market? With raytracing being implemented by multiple vendors could this affect nvidia markets further?
