NVidia Reportedly Will Exit Chipset Business

xav_jones sends along a story from X bit Laboratories claiming that NVidia is ready to quit making chipsets. That story links one from DigiTimes, which reports that NVidia has denied that it's getting out of the business. "[NVidia] is about to quit chipset business, which automatically means that the company's much-hyped multi-GPU SLI technology is either in danger or re-considered. Moreover, several mainboard makers have already ceased making high-end NVidia-based mainboards. [NVidia has]... reportedly decided to quit core-logic business to concentrate on development of graphics processors and following failure to secure license to build and sell chipsets compatible with Intel Corp.'s microprocessors that use Quick-Path Interconnect bus."

    Apple announced today that it will stop selling actual products and will only sell hype, in pretty packages of course.

    It's like IBM stopping all work with Java or Starbucks announcing it will no longer sell baked goods at its stores

    or, Slashdot will only post stories after they've been fact-checked.
