There is an ongoing war being waged inside every single computer sold in the world today. Until recently, the war involved two CPU (the brains of your computer) manufacturers, Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). But both companies better watch their back, Nvidia (NVDA) is on the prowl. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. You see, Intel’s biggest competitor is AMD. But AMD is bleeding money and can’t give Intel any real competition. Result? Intel dominates. Before we declare Intel the winner of the war, graphic chipmaker Nvidia has something to say in the matter. They have the technology to go up against the big boys. Over the past few months, Nvidia’s CEO has even talked about how they have better technology than Intel! People speculated what it all meant. Now we know – Nvidia is putting out a new CPU that combines a CPU with graphics processing power. In other words, anyone buying this chip wouldn’t need to buy a separate graphics card for their computer. This is technology that Intel won’t have available until next year, and AMD has been struggling to release their first version for over a year now. It’s funny that a company that wasn’t even a competitor came out with a comparable product first. These chips could be used inside laptops, miniature computers, future iPhones, and other products. With AMD losing power in the CPU market, it seems that Nvidia could pick up their market share. And if their product is better than Intel’s future offering, then Nvidia could make plenty of money in the years ahead.
