Expreview has managed to have a conversation with Jen-Hsun Huang, the CEO and co-founder of Nvidia a few days ago, and Huang presented many of his thoughts, especially on several hot topics such as the company’s quarterly loss and its main rival - AMD and Intel. Read on to find out what Huang has to say.
Expreview: How do you think of the current relation between AMD, Intel and Nvidia?
Jen-Hsun: Both Intel and AMD make chips for notebooks, servers and desktop PC, so their strategy is all-directional. Differently, Nvidia’s only focus is the products in relation to visual computing. We have no plan to enter into CPU market, as Intel and AMD have already done great enough. I don’t think we can do even better, but we are capable of making the best GPUs.
CPU is designed for logical computing, while GPU is created for parallel computing. You know, the Core Processing is the present and future of PC world. Very soon, you’ll see the DirectX Computing on Windows 7 and OpenCL on Apple OS10 which operate on the CPU and GPU.
We have been trying hard to make GPUs for Intel and AMD’s platforms. Now we can support Atom, Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad on Ion as well as the platforms from AMD and VIA. If the market and consumers need it, we do it, and continue to work with our partners.
