Intel and nVidia Sign Sweeping Licensing Agreement

Intel and graphics processing vendor nVidia said today that they have signed a wide-ranging technology sharing pact that will let nVidia use Intel’s front-side bus (FSB) technology.

In addition, both parties will be able to stream the development of the core building blocks, such as processor and graphics cards, for high end PC’s. nVidia will also be able to use Intel’s unique FSB design for its graphics cards on Intel-based systems which will both improve performance and reduce costs.

The companies have said the deal would involve a "multiyear patent, cross-license agreement spanning multiple product lines and product generations." Further details weren't immediately available.

Both companies are leaders in their field, fighting off radically different newcomers such as AMD and ATI Technologies in their various markets. AMD’s 64-bit technology is gaining ground, and popularity, over Intel’s similar Itanium processor and ATI’s newest generation of cards tend to claim better benchmarks than similar nVidia cards.

Intel may have been spurred to make this offering because of declining market share of its own chipsets. Market studies show Intel has lost 6.7% market share in the motherboard logic arena. nVidia may also be pre-emotively striking at rival ATI, which has an Intel version of its Radeon Xpress 200 chipset already in the works.
