U.S. starts antitrust probe into graphics chips 12/01/2006 15:44:12 By Scott Hillis SEATTLE (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice has issued subpoenas to Nvidia Corp. <NVDA.O> and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. <AMD.N> as part of a probe into potential antitrust violations involving graphics chips, helping to send shares in the companies lower. Nvidia, the largest independent maker of graphics chips for computers and other devices, said on Friday that no specific allegations had been made against the company and that it plans to cooperate with the investigation. AMD, the No. 2 maker of computer processors, said late on Thursday that it had been subpoenaed. AMD entered the graphics business in October after acquiring Canadian firm ATI Technologies for $5.4 billion. Nvidia and AMD each control about 25 percent of the market for graphics chips that are used in personal computers, mobile handsets, video game consoles and other devices, with Intel Corp. <INTC.O> controlling the rest. Justice Department spokeswoman Gina Talamona confirmed that it is looking into "the possibility of anti-competitive practices" involving graphics chips and cards, but declined to elaborate.
