Intel Files Lawsuit Against Nvidia

[Donnie27]

Surely it should be clear cut whether or not the agreement Nvidia and Intel had, allows for them to make a chipset for the i7.

Seems just crazy to me.

I'm not sure and don't have the documents in front of me. But from what I've seen and read, Intel and nVidia had a similar agreement to the one AMD and Intel has. Neither of those companies charges the other for the other's tech or IP. If one charges the other, then the deal is off. They agreed to stay out of court otherwise. nVidia wanted Intel's tech free while they wanted Intel to pay them for their tech. So no, I don't blame Intel for not wanting to pay nVidia (directly or indirectly) when nVidia uses their tech free.

There's a 1000 post thread here about the SLI chips nVidia was trying to pretend their cards needed. Hacked drivers proved that was NOT the case. Now sure I could be wrong
