NVIDIA issued a statment today responding to an Intel court filing, which claimed that the four year old chipset license agreement between the companies does not cover future generation Intel CPUs with integrated memory controllers such as current Nehalem (Core i7) products. In the official statement, president and CEO of NVIDIA, Jen-Hsun Huang notes that the company is confident its license still applies and suggests that the court filing is "clearly an attempt to stifle innovation to protect a decaying CPU business." The filing comes after both companies spent over a year attempting to resolve the dispute privately. Intel clearly believes NVIDIA isn't licensed to produce chipsets for its CPUs with built in memory controllers, so it seems resorting to the intervention of the courts is a necessary step.
