According to Digitimes – NVidia are set to discontinue their work in the chipset/motherboard market. Taken directly off Digitimes:
"Nvidia has decided to throw in the towel and quit the chipset business, sources close to the situation at one of Taiwan’s top motherboard makers have revealed. As the story is told, Nvidia called a meeting earlier this week with its motherboard partners to gauge support for it continuing to develop chipsets in the future.
The motherboard makers’ response? Silence.
It is still early days and not all the facts are known at the time of writing, but it is believed Nvidia will transfer the chipset team to working on GPU projects. On the motherboard makers’ side, some makers have already canceled upcoming high-end motherboard projects based on the nForce 7-series chipset."
Worrying times for the graphics card giant, as they come up against more trouble. Full story on Digitimes.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The Tech Report have been in contact with NVidia who say these claims are infact false and they will not be pulling out of the motherboard market.
