Nvidia Signs Six-Year Deal With Intel Worth $1.5 Billion
Right now, we wish the name on our bank account was Nvidia, because the graphic card manufacturer just signed a deal with Intel that ends a two year lawsuit and gives Intel continued use of Nvidia technology.
In early 2009, Intel and Nvidia were suing each other over an older chipset licensing agreement. Today, however, the two companies have reconciled their differences. For the next six years Intel will be allowed continued use of Nvidia-developed graphics chips, and in return Intel will make annual payments to Nvidia adding up to $1.5 billion.
We’re glad we can all finally get along. For $1.5 billion we’d probably be willing to forgive both companies for helping sell computers with locked specs.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
