However, NVIDIA is not assembled to rest there , and it considers that on the market there is many strong competitive proposals.. NVIDIA now control just a little more than 30% of graphical solutions in the market, leader is as before Intel with its integrated chipsets.
In autumn this year NVIDIA intends to present the chipsets family geForce 8xxx (MCP78) for AMD platform , which will support directX 10, system bus HyperTransport 3.0 , interface PCI express 2.0. Furthermore, this chipset for the first time will propose the support to the technology hybrid SLI.
