A rumor from AMD's Platform Conference: Remember folks - it's only a rumor - probably no truth to it - right? Monica Heard on the Beat (Jan. 25) By Semiconductor Business News Jan 25, 2002 (4:41 PM) URL: siliconstrategies.com Nvidia samples chip set, seeks Intel license The rumor mill was churning at this week's Platform Conference in San Jose. One of the hottest rumors at the conference was that Nvidia Corp. is reportedly sampling a Pentium 4-compliant PC chip set, but the company has yet to obtain a license from Intel Corp. Details of Nvidia's Pentium 4-compliant chip set are sketchy, but the company's latest nForce line of core-logic products is reportedly being shown to PC motherboard makers in Taiwan, according to sources familiar with the product at the conference. Sources believe that Nvidia is talking to Intel about obtaining a license for its new chip set. But it's unclear if Intel will grant a license to the nearby Santa Clara, Calif.-based company. A spokesman for Nvidia denied the existence of a Pentium 4-compliant chip set. "We don't have one," the spokesman for Nvidia said. "We don't have a [Pentium 4] license from Intel." But if Nvidia should decide to market the chip set without the proper blessing from Intel, Nvidia could be in for a major legal battle with Intel. For example, Taiwan's Via Technologies Inc. last year rolled out a Pentium 4-compliant chip set without obtaining a license from Intel. As expected, Intel filed suit against Via last year. In response, Via filed a counter suit against Intel.--M.L.
