Wow, Intel sure isn't making many friends these days...

NVIDIA, VIA, Rambus, AMD.. Those are some high powered enemies.

Whoa, they're really pissed at the chipset makers. VIA managed to create a P4 DDR chipset by avoiding a licensing agreement with only some key patents held by S3 and acquired by them. NVidia is threatening to reveal the 815 as the cheap-ass all-in-one chipset it really is. Not to mention the entire HyperTransport thing that improves what Intel wants to leave alone: the northbridge-southbridge pipeline.

Via chipsets suck anyway. Intel has nothing to worry about with them. If Nvidia actually can produce a stable nForce chipset then Intel should worry.

"They're not licensed, and the performance claims they are making are bogus,"

My god intel will never change.
How many web sites have also had preliminary benchmarks of via's chipsets and proven intels chipsets now suck.

As for the nForce chipset Nvidia introduced Monday, Chandrasekher questioned whether there is a market for an integrated chipset that is not for low-end or corporate computers.

The man is a fool, if the nforce chipset is as good as it sounds, it could be the beggining of us all having alot more integrated machines, sure some of us techs used to hate them, but if it's actually done well and costs the same - soon our pc's might really be phased out for high end set top boxes, either way a sound card, and 2 network cards on the one board - is good to me - ESPECIALLY when the sound card is better than ANYTHING else out there... wow in my opinion

"Is the product cool? Yes," Chandrasekher said. "Does it meet the needs of the market? I don't think so."

See above quote - set top boxes (on a more high end scale) etc.

Chandrasekher said Intel learned the lesson last year that chipset makers should not push too hard on integrated graphics when it tried to force its 815 chipset into the mainstream.

ROFL i815, i think he ended his credibility even mentioning that piece of shit, nvidia's chipset is a mid range 3d card, and almost definately costing less than a board / video card combo - great deal to me

A clearer picture of Intel's near-term economic outlook should come later Thursday as the company is set to give a midquarter financial update.

read this carefully (hint, he's shitting himself - AGAIN!) - time to buy more via, amd and nvda stock.

Uh, the reason pushing the i815 into the mainstream didn't work is..

THE 3D PERFORMANCE SUCKS

the Nforce doesn't have that problem.. (theoretically anyways..)

If all of my products were one-upped the day after release by all these companies, I'd badmouth them too.
