Nvidia Introduces IGP for Intel Platform

Nvidia, whose integrated graphical chipsets dominate the AMD market, has now turned its eye towards greener pastures with the release of its GeForce 7 series of integrated solutions for Intel platforms.

The new series is designed for a wide range of Intel processors, including Celeron, Pentium, the Core 2 family, and the upcoming 45nm Intel Penryn.

The single chip solution also supports HDMI or DVI output to enable playback of protected digital content directly from the PC to high-definition televisions and other displays.

"Integrated graphics are no longer good enough for mainstream applications," said Drew Henry, general manager of MCP business at Nvidia. "Windows Vista has opened consumers' eyes to an entirely new visual experience. We're ecstatic that our customers will now be able to harness the power of Nvidia graphics and application compatibility, and have an exceptional PC experience no matter what their price budget or intended application usage is."

Solutions incorporating this new release will be available soon.
