Intel and Nvidia have taken place in the agreements, which allows the development of Nvidia chipsets that support Intel processors, and Intel that allows Nvidia to use technology in their motherboards.
Everything went well until Intel filed a lawsuit against Nvidia, alleging that such agreements do not allow the construction of Nvidia chipsets for Intel processors with integrated memory controllers, ie the Nehalem CPU.
"Intel has filed a lawsuit against NVIDIA seek a declaratory of rights associated with agreements between the two companies," said the official statement from Intel. "The lawsuit seeks a court declaration that NVIDIA is not licensed to produce chipsets that are compatible with any Intel processor has integrated memory controller functionality, such as microprocessors and NVIDIA Nehalem Intel has violated the agreement Intel, claiming falsely that it is licensed. Intel has been in talks with NVIDIA for over a year trying to resolve the issue but unfortunately we lost. As a result, Intel is asking the court to resolve this dispute. "
Nvidia claims that this lawsuit does not affect the NVIDIA chipsets being shipped.
"We are confident that our license agreement, as negotiated, it applies," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA. "At the heart of this problem is that the CPU has its course and soul of the PC is moving quickly to the GPU. This is clearly an attempt to stifle innovation in order to protect the CPU business in decline."
Huang said that, given the widespread and growing adoption of innovations from NVIDIA platform, it is not surprising that Intel is now launching a dispute over a contract signed four years ago. Innovations such as ION, SLI, hybrid power, and threaten CuDa Intel's ability to control the PC platform.
