> Personally I want Nvidia to break the x86-64 monopoly

The one supplied by two companies?



Maybe he meant homogeneity which Nvidia did try and tries with Arm.. but, on the other hand how wild would it be for Nvidia to enter x86-64 as well? It's probably never going to happen due to licensing if nothing else, lest we remember nForce chipset ordeal with intel legal.


Indeed, but I think people forget that the reason AMD have a license in the first place was because Intel's customers in the early days required a second source for it's processors.

Who owns the Cyrix x86 license these days?
