NVIDIA officially halts chipset development

NVIDIA and Intel have been fighting a legal battle for a long time now that involved chipsets that NVIDIA was making that supported newer Intel CPUs. We first heard grumblings back in 2008 that NVIDIA could be leaving the chipset business, but things were seemingly chugging along. Today NVIDIA has officially announced that its nForce chipset line is on hiatus.

They haven't really had much need to continue with it. Ever since the X58 motherboards came around, Nvidia hasn't had a chipset market.

My crappy board has an nForce chipset and some smart guy forgot to put a block on it.

Pandamobile6054d ago

The last nForce board I had was an nForce 4. AMD socket with an Nvidia chipset.

That thing got so fricking hot I burned myself when I was trying to remove one of my 7600 GT's.

Also the AMD 770/780/785/790 chip sets have all been really solid solutions on that platform. Those that remember Nvidia's foray into the chipset market started on AMD platforms before AMD started its own chipset development. Via was the huge player in that market then, when the Nforce first came along it was a revolutionary product on AMD's platforms. With the focus now on AMD integrated platform solutions after the ATI purchase, it left Nvidia the odd man out. Intel squeezing Nvidia on the chipset license terms is most unfortunate.

One of the reasons I bought an X58 rig was so that I could go with two NVidia GPUs or two ATI GPUs.

For down the road when I have a couple hundred bucks to blow :)

I had a PC for only about a year, and had to replace it because it was buggy as hell. the reason according to Microsoft? The NVidia chipset is incompatible with Vista. How about that? A motherboard chipset made for a Vista computer incompatable with Vista.

Thanks for the ripoff. Stick to GPU's that you at least know how to make well, NVidia.

It burned us with Mother boards that sucked.

It burned us when they made chipsets that had trouble with VISTA funny how other boards did not have that trouble especially laptop chipsets.

It burned itself when it made the xbox(1) chipset to so that it would not lower the price as manufacturing cost decrease. It burned Microsoft directly.

They better watch out because pretty soon there will be no one to sell the GPU cards to! Including the end user!

IT DID THE SAME THING with the PS3! Poor Sony they also had to sue Nvidia. That was the last thing Sony needed, it cost them the chance to get the ps3 into more peoples hands sooner! Now finally Sony can do it but still they should be making profit at 299 and 399 but thanks to Nvidia NOT!

Nvidia also burned Asus and canopus, they found out the hard way there are only so many people you can burn in that business. Who are they going to sell it to? I bet that is the reason it suddenly dropped everything, because they cant sale it! It has to be sold AHEAD of time.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing6d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit6d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing6d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster926d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
