NVIDIA representatives are repeatedly forced to deny the existence of plans with respect to the release of x86- compatible processor, but in parallel, they recognized the significance of tegra processors with ARM- architecture and the built-in graphic core for the business of the company in the future. The market for chipset will come to the end in the future, since in 2011 AMD and Intel will already release processors with the built-in graphic core.
Associate with the reference to the well-known analyst Doug freedman reports that NVIDIA company can actively hire Transmeta colleagues for the work on the creation of x86- compatible processor. Thus, in the opinion of expert, NVIDIA attempts to protect its interests on the chipset market, after proposing to users the processors of its own development.
Possibly, from other sides, this is the simple attempt to obtain access to transmeta technology . Finally, the processor architecture elements can be used BY NVIDIA, also, in their own video chip - the knowledge of Transmeta engineers in this sphere also will prove useful.
