Nvidia Corp. confirmed early on Thursday that it had combined the core-logic and system-on-chip development teams. The move will considerably enlarge the amount of engineering resources for development of next-generation Tegra system-on-chip (SoC) solutions.
“We have merged these teams under the Tegra development team. This substantially strengthens our engineering effort for Tegra development going forward,” said Ken Brown, a spokesman for Nvidia.
The news-story claiming that Nvidia had merged its Tegra and chipset development teams in order to strengthen the former originally appeared at TechEye web-site. The report claims that the combined group of developers will be around 650 engineers, quite a high number.
Nvidia’s chipset division has been struggling for over a year now after it transpired that Nvidia cannot sell chipsets compatible with Intel’s new generation of microprocessors with integrated memory controller. Moreover, considering that both Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp. are working hard to integrate as much functionality as possible into their microprocessors, the market of third-party chipsets hardly has bright prospects in general. In any case, the decision to merge the teams clearly indicates that chipset development is halted at Nvidia.
