October 20th NOW by: Anonymous on 10/20/2009
Its October 20th NOW! So where are those news about what NVIDIA has up their sleeves?
by: Anonymous on 10/10/2009
Nvidia might not be in too much trouble. x86 could be in trouble in the general consumer market because it's not needed as much as it used to be. They have ARM on the low end that with appropriate chipsets can do nearly the same work on lower power; if ARM hits big in China for netbooks because they cost less and China is not sold to a system yet, they could create a different set of computer. Additionally, high end will probably move towards more GPGPU type systems have much more power and will be much more programmable. That leaves x86 as eating too much power to do what people want on the low and not enough processing power for the high; the x86 market will shrink soon, especially with the US consumer being hurt. If corporations move towards cloud systems too, might not need the same chips as they're using now and could switch to a more specialized chip that saves on power.

Why people credit Charlie for this one? He was sometimes good at predicting the market but he posted these news about nvidia quiting motherboard chipsets in the inquirer website on 3rd AUG-2008. I read the same news 2 days earlier at engadget.com
But Charlie made it like he discovered immortality potion in his version of rolling out the same news.

But leave us off Charlie now, even the INQ couldn't tolerate all the weak articles you posted and made him leave. I like some of Charlie's articles, But I read only 30% of them skipping the stupid "consoles-war-like" crap!

What the author is saying here is that nvidia may have wanted to leave the chipset business in their hearts. Can you imagine what more could they do other than adding an NF200 chip to an X58 motherboard? Intel X48 competed well against nvidia 780/790 motherboards, in a time when ATI 4800 cards were yummy yummy and crossfire'ing them in high-end intel chipset motherboards was cheaper than nvidia 780/790+SLI cards solution at a similar performance.

This reminds me of the issue with 680i motherboard not supporting Intel's 45nm quad cores. I was thinking then, are nvidians really upset or just happy that they're going to sell more 780i motherboards?! I'm sure it was a reason that made 780i mobo sell more because a lot of people must've upgraded from 680i to 780i for that one sole reason (supporting 45nm quads, keeping their expensive SLI cards).

Props to Charlie by: Anonymous on 10/9/2009
People may think he has a personal vendetta against Nvidia,,and maybe he does, but the man backs up his arguments with facts. I always enjoy reading his columns. He shoots from the hip and I respect him for that, no BS with Charlie!!!!!! Keep up the good work.
I saw this months ago!!! by: Anonymous on 10/9/2009
I have been telling people Nvidia is in trouble. They have no X86 license and with Intel going Larabee and AMD going Fusion the writing is on the wall for Nvidia. I say Intel will buy them out for there engineers to help Larabee along. I am one for compertition no fanboy here but the fact remains. In a way I am glad to see this day coming as they pulled DX 10.1 from assassin's creed only when it benefited them were they onboard. To me they were stifling innovation and that is not cool. We pay big money on our rigs and expect nothing less than the best. PS3 and XBOX are a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!
Charlie Predicted this by: Anonymous on 10/9/2009
Charlie over at Semi-Acc. predicted this LONG AGO. Seems no one is ever will to give Charlie his props when he calls em spot on.
