Intel’s February lawsuit has slowed Nvidia down, says Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.
But there are many ways to get around the technology Intel is claiming as its own, Huang said Tuesday.
Don't get fixated on a bus, says Jen-Hsun Huang
Intel filed suit against the company to confuse manufacturers and consumers about Nvidia’s ability to deliver a graphics processor and chip set to work with Intel’s new Nehalem computer microprocessors, said Huang.
Intel claims in particular that a four-year-old license agreement keeps Nvidia from integrating with its new integrated memory controller.
But Huang says there is more than one way to skin a cat. Don’t get fixated on Intel’s new bus, Huang told the analysts. There are different ways to transfer data in a chip, he said.
He said Nvidia is still at work on an ION-based chip set for the market.
“Intel needs to stop ION like there is no tomorrow,” Huang says. That is the reason for the suit.
