"So long as there are men, there will be wars."
-Albert Einstein
The next one will commence when GPU manufacturers meet CPU manufacturers.
Not long ago, Intel, the world's superpower in the CPU industry, declared war on Nvidia and ATI/AMD when it stated that it will produce its own graphic cards. Just as AMD acquired ATI, Intel is giving computer graphics a shot.
On the other hand, Nvidia, currently the market leader in graphic technologies, proudly boasted that its upcoming innovations will sweep the need for CPUs away. Just how Nvidia is going to accomplish this is only a matter of time. Nvidia is looking particularly aggressive nowadays.
Never before have anyone seen an SLI setup on an Intel chipset based motherboard. Why did Nvidia acquire Ageia? And have you seen their integrated graphics technologies on each other's chipsets? We can see that these two companies never sat too well with each other. These are timeless "domino pieces" that will spark an inevitable war.
When CPUs and GPUs unite as one, the war will come to both graphic and processing fronts.
What will be the result when these two Goliaths pit against each other? A catastrophic one to us consumers? Let's hope not.
Whose side are you on?
