NVIDIA Brings New Weapons in the War Against Intel [NVIDIA Uses Cartoons to Enrage Intel; Will It Work?]

There are some already famous rivalries between companies that inevitably lead to duels in court. We have AT&T vs Verizon, Apple vs Psystar and NVIDIA vs Intel. While the first lawsuits have recently been covered in the news, the NVIDIA vs Intel quarrel is not that fresh in our minds! But we did see the two giants fight each other for a while, so why stop now? Bring on the popcorn as this conflict is about to go to the next level.

Although we haven’t seen yet anything like this ladies and gentlemen! Or at least that’s our first impression. When thinking more about it we will remember an even fiercer campaign which some people in Cupertino like to call the “Get a Mac!” campaign. Don’t expect NVIDIA vs Intel short funny clips now! NVIDIA decided to take an original approach and hired a cartoonist to reproduce various cartoons meant to take clear hits at Intel.

NVIDIA has confirmed that it is backing the newly created site IntelInsides.com. Bob Sherbin, NVIDIA’s head of corporate communication has even confirmed that the site will take aim at other targets in the near future. I’d hate to burst their bubble but a site called IntelInsides.com isn’t suited for taking a poke at Apple for example. But here’s what Mr. Sherbin said:

[The site] is satirical in nature, and attempts to have a bit of fun with what is quite a serious issue. The spotlight is on them regarding this issue, and so they are a very obvious target.

He is referring of course at Intel’s alleged use of market development funds and rebates in order to obstruct archenemy AMD.

Intel’s spokesman Chuck Mulloy admitted that Intel knows about the site but questioned the fact that NVIDIA doesn’t host it inside its own domain:

It’s not cute, it’s not accurate, it is Nvidia being Nvidia.

Does that mean that Intel will strike back? I guess fighting amongst giants is really popular these days! What do you have to say about the drawings? Did you at least laugh? Will we see a new Intel vs NVIDIA trial?
