NVIDIA To Make Graphics Chipsets For VIA?

[HardOCP News]

There is a rumor floating around the internet that NVIDIA is in a deal with VIA to make graphics chipsets. According to the article, this would allow VIA to focus on its low-power processor business. VIA declined to comment and NVIDIA could not be reached for comment.

Despite the deal with Nvidia, the source said Via will continue to produce its own chip sets for its microprocessors. Those chip sets are central to Via's platform strategy, which has seen the company push the limits of motherboard size, packing its processors and single-chip chip set onto ever smaller boards designed for portable computers.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to see what VIA has cooking in the CPU department, I highly recommend that you read up on our grand tour of the Centaur offices as well as this article that covers the latest in CPU technology from VIA.
