Nvidia set about creating an Intel-compatible processor!
There were interesting news:
1. "Nvidia took up the creation of an Intel-compatible processor"
2. “The first product on the Ion platform will be a nettop; NVIDIA looks again towards VIA ” which says:
"... it became known that NVIDIA is considering the possibility of cooperating with VIA Technologies in the framework of creating a new platform for low-cost PCs. Most likely, NVIDIA will take over the issue of the appropriate system logic set, and VIA Technologies - a microprocessor.
... However, the increase in interest in cooperation with VIA on the part of NVIDIA may well be due to Intel’s negative reaction to the output of the NVIDIA Ion platform. "
This is what Intel's greed leads to;)
As a result of its not yielding , the company Intel can find another competitor on its head, in the face of a very not weak company Nvidia!
And this is despite the fact that Intel was clearly not ready for the financial crisis:
1. "Analysts predicted a 15 percent drop in demand for processors"
2. "Intel will close five plants"
3. "Intel management failed to give a financial forecast for the quarter"
4. "Intel has cut down the prices of processors"
5. "Intel has postponed the release of a new processor"
6. "Intel's quarterly profit declined tenfold"
PS: I found two interesting articles here:
1. "NVIDIA may be going to buy VIA" - 18/03/2008:
“NVIDIA, according to a source he received from motherboard manufacturers in Taiwan, held preliminary talks with VIA Technologies regarding the purchase of the latter.
At the moment, as reported, NVIDIA and VIA have not yet reached any agreement on this issue, since VIA allegedly set too high a price.
Three possible scenarios for the development of events were discussed at once:
- creating a strategic alliance
- NVIDIA purchase only VIA processor unit
- the acquisition of the company entirely ... "

2. “NVIDIA bought the right to use all Transmeta products for only $ 25 million” - 08/08/2008:
“This is about developments in the field of energy saving Long Run and LongRun2, as well as other intellectual property that can now be used in NVIDIA products ...”
PPS:
“Nvidia Ion Platform Will Support VIA Processors” - 02/23/2009:
“The Ion platform, introduced by Nvidia at the end of 2008, will support VIA processors, DigiTimes reports with reference to the statement by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Currently, the Ion platform supporting VIA processors is under development. Negotiations on cooperation between Nvidia and VIA began a year ago ... "
