DailyTech - NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"
I really admire the CEO of nVidia for having the guts to speak his mind on Intel and their false marketing campaign. The fact is, Intel's integrated graphics is not up to par in terms of 3D capability. The CPU-centric marketing theme is to try to convince people that CPU + MMX (or whatever the multimedia extensions are called these days) are sufficient for all your entertainment needs, be it gaming or HD video decoding. The statement is true for the typical consumer whose idea of gaming is Mindsweep and thinks that 3D GUI consists of nothing but semi-translucent windows and icons. It's not so true if you're avid gamers or interested in viewing true HD video on your laptop. See DailyTech - NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass".
