@ 2008/08/04We leave it up to you to decide whether this will happen or not. Nvidia already denied chipset-killing rumors and, if the rumors are true, is likely to do so for many months down the road. We are pretty sure that nothing can be squeezed out of Nvidia this month since the company is unlikely to sabotage its own tradeshow.
Common sense applied, Nvidia always said that it is focused on visual computing and wants to be involved in every segment where visuals offer an opportunity. Right now, chipsets may assist the company in driving its GPUs deeper into high-performance and GPGPU computing areas, but if the company believes that it cannot add value to what is already out there, a chipset division may only be a distraction. In the end, the company bets its future on the GeForce GPU, the GPU-based Tesla HPC platform and the mobile Tegra SoC.
