I guess we wouldn't be complaining as heavily if we weren't always saddled with their poorly performing graphics coprocessors and things. Way to push back development by years. -.-

Ion was the first real breath of life as AMD's portable chipsets are just too power hungry. I had one of those DV2s and took it back because it was too slow and too hot (granted, before they released the dual core cpu).

Along comes real competition and all Intel can think of is to panic and strongarm them out of the business. That sounds like a monopoly to me, since we almost have little choice but to use X86 systems.

Of course, the frightening thing to Intel is that if CUDA keeps evolving it might eclipse the whole X86 processor. Might be a better strategy for NVidia. ]]>Oct 8th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/Oct 8th 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=791]]>Oct 8th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/

If not for the nforce chipset (which at the time I bought it I knew nothing about) this WOULD still be a decent laptop 2 years after I bought it.
But alas, one new motherboard and one new fan assembly from overheating to hell later, I'd never get an nvidia chipset again.

Somehow I'm hoping this turn of events may allow AMD to slip back into a state of being relevant, since they seem to have finally finished up digesting ATI, now they can actually work having both under one roof to their advantage instead of having it beat them in the wallet.]]>Oct 8th 2009 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/08/nvidia-halting-chipset-development-after-all/

Tegra is not going anywhere. ION is a bit of a ? since it is not clear (to me) whether the licensing issue is strictly with i7 or i5 chips or also with ATOM chips. There is some talk of ION working with VIA chips..... so that could breathe life into that product line.

I know it won't make much of a difference, but I am going to stay away from Intel based computers for a while.

And when Nvidia dies, I will truly be sad... the lack of a major innovative competitor in the already oligopoly market will hurt us all.

Imagine a world where only GM and Ford sold cars... sigh.
