Intel and Nvidia headed for licensing stand-off @ CNet

The rumor mill has brought us something fun to chew on this week. We all knew this was going to happen. Let's see how the titans fight it out.  It's like wrestling without the big buff dudes, and chicks.

"The story is that Intel and Nvidia are currently negotiating technology licenses for Nehalem, Intel's next-generation desktop CPU due out at the end of this year. As we were told from multiple desktop vendors who wish to remain nameless, Intel wants to license SLI from Nvidia for its Nehalem chipsets, and if Nvidia won't, Intel will withhold the license that would enable Nvidia to support Nehalem's memory controller, and thus Nehalem, on its own chipsets."

OMG, OMG!  Watch out for the chair!
