Report: Intel May Dump Nvidia, Turn To AMD For Radeon Graphics Licensing (pcworld.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from PCWorld: Intel could dump Nvidia for a licensing deal with AMD as the chip giant tries to prop up its patent portfolio. Currently, Intel is under a $1.5 billion licensing agreement with Nvidia, which the two companies signed in 2011. At the time, the two companies had spent years fighting each other in courts over patent licensing, and the agreement put all that litigation to rest. Intel's Nvidia deal is set to expire on March 17, 2017, and a recent report by Bloomberg claimed that Intel is now looking to cut a deal with AMD instead.
THIS is how "switchable graphics" is done. Nvidia, take note!
This is thought as the rationale for Microsoft to invest in Apple back in the 90s
Well that worked, who is talking about the Microsoft monopoly these days. :-)
