NVIDIA has responded to a report from this morning saying that they were exiting from the business of developing chipsets for computer motherboards. Though that original article claims that "silence" was the response from NVIDIA to queries about this, but The Tech Report met with more success, getting a denial from NVIDIA, which, as they put it, leaves "little open for interpretation." Word from NVIDIA's Bryan Del Rizzo is:

1. The story on Digitimes is completely groundless. We have no intention of getting out of the chipset business.
2. In fact, our MCP business is as strong as it ever has been for both AMD and Intel platforms:

a. Mercury Research has reported that the NVIDIA market share of AMD platforms in Q2 08 was 60%. We have been steady in this range for over two years.
b. SLI is still the preferred multi-GPU platform thanks to its stellar scaling, game compatibility and driver stability.
c. nForce 790i SLI is the recommended choice by editors worldwide due to its compelling combination of memory performance, overclocking, and support for SLI. . . .

3. We're looking forward to bring new and very exciting MCP products to the market for both AMD and Intel platforms.
