NVIDIA in the CPU Game

[LittleCarrot]

Do you think NVIDIA will do good in the CPU game?

Wat? All they have is Tegra if I´m not mistaken.

[daniellearmouth]

No.

 

They deal solely in GPUs and computation through GPUs, rather than traditional microprocessors.

 

The Tegra doesn't really count, either. It's an ARM CPU.

[Overkilled]

They do have the tegra k I believe

[007agentHP]

no

/thread

better answer:

they dont have the licensing for the x86 or x86_64 architecture that intel has lended to AMD and vice versa. (and i doubt intel would be happy to have more competiton)

and then theyd have to get microsoft to support it (another nightmare)

and them sell it at a low enough cost to pre builts to selll, and at a relatively low cost to custom builders to be able to compete with intel or amd

just too much for them to deal with.

They don't make desktop or mobile(laptop) CPUs. They only make ARM based SoCs.

Nvidia couldn't do X86 in Denver chips or X86 emu in their own chips...

Isn't that a quantum based chip then?

Don't know, just remember it from CES so posted the link. I know it streams to the Shield though. *snicker snort*

No. The D-Wave (first theoretically quantum machine) isn't even totally confirmed as working last I knew.

Well, if it has strong enough AI then it would be quantum based.

Software complexity (AI) can't change the underlying architecture. A complex program doesn't mean it's a quantum computer in the slightest.
