Nvidia Soars As Intel Cancels Graphics Chip	Nvidia (NVDA) shares are sharply higher today on news that Intel (INTC) has canceled plans for a near-term entry into the discrete graphics processor market with its much-touted Larrabee project. The Street is ebullient on the news, which is being interpreted as a huge positive, removing a dangerous potential rival from the playing field. But the situation is more complicated than that. Here are some key points raised by the Street this morning: Mark Lipacis, Morgan Stanley: He repeats his Unde...	December 07, 2009

The story asserts that Nvidia ...	November 03, 2009
Live From Google I/O 2009	We’re here at Google I/O, the search giant’s annual developer event in San Francisco. The first day’s keynote address is happening right now, and we’re covering it live. The theme of today is pretty clear: The time for development on the web has arrived. With HTML 5, the ability to create rich browser-based applications is here. Google’s Vic Gundotra has laid out the five key things for HTML 5 that will change things: Canvas, Video, Geolocation, Database and App Cac...	May 27, 2009
AMD Launches 3D Media Browser: Does Anyone Care?	For whatever reason this week’s launch of the beta version of AMD’s Fusion Media Explorer, the company’s first forray in the social media hub / browser space, isn’t being met with a mountain of buzz. For a 40-year old giant of a tech company that’s mostly known for its micro-processors and related technologies, that’s quite surprising, especially because the product actually appears to be quite cool, if not very innovative these days. I say appears, because t...	April 10, 2009
NVIDIA Announces Investment Effort For GPU-based Computing Startups	NVIDIA is known primarily for their PC graphics cards, but they've been in the news recently both for the expansion of their CUDA and PhysX initiatives as well as (allegedly) developing a CPU to challenge Intel and AMD. They've been proponents of parallel processing for quite a while, naturally, and have made some investments in companies like MotionDSP and Elemental Technologies, both of which are developing software that really leverages the GPU. The success of these investments is difficult ...	March 10, 2009

OTOY Developing Server-Side 3D Rendering Technology	Imagine you could play video games - and immerse yourself in virtual worlds - with 3D graphics comparable to those found in blockbuster films like Transformers or WALL•E. And then imagine you could experience and control those graphics in real-time from any internet-enabled device, whether it be a desktop computer, set-top box or even iPhone. Sound far-fetched? It doesn’t to Jules Urbach, founder and CEO of a Los Angeles-based company called OTOY, who has been working with microprocesso...	July 09, 2008
Nvidia Has a Thermal Event	Nvidia (NVDA) just let investors know that the guidance they issued a short eight weeks ago no longer applies. The cold water on the face includes smaller margins and smaller sales. Ouch. The quote from the press release reads “The estimated decrease in revenue and gross margin is due to several reasons: end-market weakness around the world, the delayed ramp of a next generation MCP, and price adjustments of our GPU products to respond to competitive products.”If that is not enough they l...
