AMD gets out of chipset business

And Nvidia gets beating
Wed Nov 14 2001, 18:53
HARDWARE SITE Extremetech is reporting what we all suspected for some time - AMD is exiting the chipset biz in favour of its partners.

According to the report, its policy was always to seed the market with stable chipsets, and then allow third parties, including Via, ALi and Nvidia, to pick up where it left off.

This strategy is now complete and AMD is going to concentrate on doing the same with its up and coming Hammer chipset.

You can find the complete story at Extremetech.

*MEANWHILE, end users are getting sick of waiting for drivers for Windows XP with reports on 2CPU suggesting people's patience is getting exhausted.
