The latest development in the soap opera that is the PC components industry sees NVIDIA expanding beyond its usual focus on AMD systems to offer new integrated graphics solutions designed for Intel-based desktops. Reuters reports that the upcoming GeForce 7050, 7100, and 7150 will be compatible with current and upcoming Intel chips, ship in machines priced from $400 to $600, and are said to "give the performance of an entry-level separate graphics processor unit" -- a claim we'll be interested to see tested. Now that NVIDIA is taking direct aim at the world's largest chipmaker, we wouldn't be at all surprised to see Intel strike back in the discrete graphics space -- and then it doesn't take much to imagine NVIDIA retaliating once again by whipping up its own line of CPUs, does it?
Actually thbis stepping up of support for I(ntel motherboards is good for Intel as it makes their offering batter value/cost effective. Sure Imntel might not sell one small graphics chipset but it helps their CPU sales etc.
I can understand a typo or two, but good lord man.
2 finger typing pal. I've always thought that engadget should have an edit feature for the finmger challenged amongst us like myself.
it's cool, he just really needed to be first, no time to edit
Ah, I just love the smell of competition in the morning. :)
This is going to get real interesting...
AMD trashed Intel graphics as slow, incompatible, and using 1980's connector technology:

BusinessWeek calling Intel graphics "wimpy":

All this means better graphics for us!!!
"discrete" -- not "discreet"
They're both correct. Sounds like the grammar cop needs a donut. Or is it doughnut?
It's actually discrete.
2 reasons:
1. Discreet means to be subtle. Discrete means to contain finite, measurable jumps.
2. The article that the URL embedded in the text points to says DISCRETE in it.
Please, grammar police, don't get on your high horse if you're wrong.
Maybe that's because AMD kinda slapped them in the face by buying Ati.
Are you saying that when AMD bought ATi and slapped Intel in the face it was really a catfight? or a b*tchslap? Will be we honored with a tv series based off this wonderful world of life....Will Fox pick it up or will it be airing at the soap opera times on local stations?
"The latest development in the soap opera that is the PC components industry" Best part of a sentence I've read in a long time
"The Components" begins airing this fall :P
So wait, right now will an NVIDIA SLI set up not work on an Intel chip build and moboard?
Key word being "integrated". Has nothing to do with SLI or GPUs.
anti-trust progression at its finest.
That Nvidia looks creepily like the eye of the illuminati
