Intel`s Looming Battle with Nvidia

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Infrastructure/Intels-Looming-Battle-with-Nvidia/

You would usually hear about the battle between Intel and AMD. But AMD's poor performance last year has allowed Intel to grab more of the microprocessor market share. Now they have their eyes set on the graphics card market. Intel already has a large market share in integrated graphics. But their future processors, particularly Larabee, will compose of a processor that includes its own graphics processing unit (GPU) inside of the processor. Thus it will have to focus on nVidia if Intel wishes for its future product to succeed. Very interesting article for us gamers and those who use graphics or depends on graphics all the time.
