Calls Intel a lying, cheating rival
In a chat with the New York Times, Jen-Hsun Huang talked about his take on management, and Nvidia's future plans and goals.
Huang denied Nvidia is working on an x86 processor, saying
sarcastically: “If we have such a product, I haven’t found it yet,” Mr.
Huang said. “It’s just not important right now.”
What is important is mobile chips such as Tegra, and CUDA computing
technologies which allow Nvidia's GPU muscle to be used for somethingother than shooting people and blowing things up.
In spite of these new trends, Nvidia can't afford to neglect its core
business, especially following ATI's successful transition to 40nm and
good sales numbers of older 55nm Radeons.
Huang describes Intel as a lying, cheating rival that tends to abuse
its dominant market position. He has no words of praise for Intel rival
AMD, calling the outfit a graphics laggard.
Huang says Nvidia is commited to a long-term business strategy.
“Our mission statement does not say, ‘Make shareholders happy,’ ” said Huang. “It says, ‘Create long-term shareholder value.’ ”
