If Nvidia is leaving the chipset business, it probably means they have something completely different up their sleeve(s). Or maybe they think that multi-core processors are going to morph into units which have different cores specifically locked in for distinct functions, there-by removing the requirement for having a chipset to bridge between components.

Imagine a CPU with the chipset inherint in it's design, its only communication requirement being between media storage and the cpu. Removing all the "bridge work" would make system a bit quicker... :hmm:

These companies don't typically give up a technology when they are the leader unless they see/understand that it's about to become obsolete.

Time will tell I recun.
