bloomberg+wccftechNvidia Demands Qualcomm Pay Up..

[Mahigan]

I had a Tegra based Asus Transformer Tablet. Worst piece of junk I have ever owned. Tegra is so damn slow once you open a few browser windows.

I'd say that NVIDIA failed in the mobile market because their Tegra solutions were slow AND power hungry.

My battery didn't last long either.

Well, if any company would recognize Unfair Practices, it would be Nvidia.

Every ADF member claiming that Nvidia GPU are overpriced. So how overpriced products can hurt AMD sales?

Because price/perf isn't the only way to sell product and you're not normalizing for anything else in this comparison?

There's two ways to create perception of value, which is what sells products. One is creating actual value, either by raising performance or by lowering price. The other is inflating the perceived value past what's actually there. NV is really good at the latter, AMD is really bad at the latter. And thus we get AMD fans being annoyed that NV fans continually pick a worse solution for their needs despite it being higher priced.

It's like acting surprised that liquid uranium is denser than solid water just because liquids are denser than solids in general.

Does anyone here even know what price dumping is? Does anyone in this thread have even the vaguest idea of what constitutes a monopoly in any country's law?

This will set a dangerous precedent if this goes anywhere.

What do you think AMD got from Intel after years of similar strategies in the x86 market? The same complaints AMD had against Intel show up in this about Nvidia of Qualcom. Orders mysteriously cancelled or delayed or reduced ect ect.

yes nothing to do with that nvidia wanted to play the "i dont know" card with denver and was almost blackmailing intel to give them x86 licence and when this didnt happened they tried to emulate it only to find out that even this needs a licence.....nooo....it was that quallcomm with a far superior chip had to do shady things to cripple tegra sales....

If you cannot compete, sue! Seems to be typical thing these days.

nVidia has been unable to build anything that is competitive. There is nothing locking phone makers into using a snapdragon SoC. The Tegra 2/3 were horrible. Tegra 4 was out dated before it even shipped.

Maybe their case has some merit in regards to the latest iteration of Tegra. But nVidia thinking they could just jump into a well established market and get success is a bit short sighted.

Not that tegra 2/3 were great products, but Qualcomm is notorious for this sort of behavior.

Im not even sure what you are babbling about.

This is actually a rather longstanding issue with the parties involved:
