NVIDIA Launches Anti-Intel Website [NVIDIA-Intel Dispute Reaches New Low With NVIDIA Launching "Education" Site To Teach Us About Big Bad Intel]

Intel and NVIDIA aren’t exactly best of the friends. The two have been having a very public dispute with each other since Intel revoked NVIDIA’s license to produce chipsets for next-generation Intel processors. Since then, things have gotten ugly between the two tech giants. NVIDIA has mainly been on the offensive, as they produced some timely political cartoons, and now, they’ve launched a PR website to educate you about the horrors of Intel.

NVIDIA’s new anti-Intel website is called “The Case For Innovation” and actually, it’s pretty vague on the Intel-NVIDIA case. It does detail the technical difference between a CPU and GPU, and then various government bodies that are investing Intel for anti-competitive behavior.

The US, Japan, Korean governments and the European Union all have investigated or prosecuted Intel for some form of anti-competitive behavior. NVIDIA has been talking about their GPUs doing more and more processes that the CPU would traditionally do, and so, Intel decided that the license between the two companies that allowed NVIDIA to create motherboard chipset for Intel processors was invalid.

Intel is facing a potentially dangerous investigation from the US Federal Trade Commission that could result in Intel being hit with heavy anti-trust penalties and being broken up into smaller companies. To make matter worse – they allegedly attempted to persuade the FTC Commissioner, a former Intel lawyer, to help them end the FTC investigation. As you can imagine, NVIDIA says on their PR website that they have  actively been helping the FTC with their investigation into Intel.
