| Could this be what NVIDIA needed help from Intel on? Combating in the CPU market is obviously not an option, but this actually sounds possibly like NVIDIA's version of Intel's CPU/GPU Nehalem variants and AMD's Fusion. If not then NVIDIA still has to find a way to combat them or suffer losses in the lower GPU segments, so this sounds likely. |
