Nvidia says PC-exclusive games have no future

But the PC does. Nvidia's Roy Taylor says that companies are using the console code as a "baseline" and adding new features to make it more attractive to gamers who might have already bought the game on a console.

NVIDIA uses 1995 catchphrase to describe plans for 2008

Posted April 15th, 2008 at 1:33am

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had a few things to say at a recent financial analyst meeting, Daily Tech reported, and one of them was "We're going to open a can of whoop ass". Putting aside for the moment about how that catch phrase was out of style by the time it was used in the movie There's Something About Mary, his angle is primarily leaning towards domination in the integrated video chipset market... a goal which is more difficult for them now that Intel is aggressively pursuing the same market with a technology they refer to as "Larrabee". Daily Tech discusses NVIDIA's pose in response:NVIDIA's slide shows almost completely ignore Intel's Larrabee, and focus on IGP claims. One of Intel's slide decks states GMA 3100 (G33) is more than enough to watch high definition videos. NVIDIA counters by citing my previous publication, AnandTech. "While the video capabilities of the [GMA 3100] will suffice for running Vista Aero, just about any office application, and a wide variety of non-3D based games, it is not up to the task of running the latest games, decoding 1080P HD content, or even providing decent video capabilities for a media station," AnandTech's Gary Key writes.
