· by Luke Ponio

According to Digitimes and their anonymous source, Nvidia has recently been developing an Intel chipset that combines the GPU and southbridge. Their goal is to reduce costs for PC manufacturers and to reduce size. The new chipset design is expected to cost $10-15 USD less than Intel’s standard onboard graphics chipsets and won’t require motherboard manufacturers to use an extra graphics chip.
