Site says Nvidia will exit chipset biz, Nvidia denies

Nasty rumor, or elaborate cover-up?

This wouldn't be the first time digitimes has made up rumors just to wake up the sleeping PR giants (or trolls)

Puzzled, we asked Nvidia Platform Products PR chief Bryan Del Rizzo to weigh in. Del Rizzo's response came swiftly and left little open for interpretation:The story on Digitimes is completely groundless. We have no intention of getting out of the chipset business.

In fact, our MCP business is as strong as it ever has been for both AMD and Intel platforms:

1. Mercury Research has reported that the NVIDIA market share of AMD platforms in Q2 08 was 60%. We have been steady in this range for over two years.
2. SLI is still the preferred multi-GPU platform thanks to its stellar scaling, game compatibility and driver stability.
3. nForce 790i SLI is the recommended choice by editors worldwide due to its compelling combination of memory performance, overclocking, and support for SLI. . . .

We're looking forward to bring new and very exciting MCP products to the market for both AMD and Intel platforms.

I'd be interested to see what they have in store.
