They already are in the chipset business for, I believe, mobile devices.
BTW, their graphics cards are chipsets as well. |

Any idea if ATI will also be taking over for the platform processor (replacement for the MCP)? This announcement only covers graphics.
Maybe both companies will work on the console -- NVIDIA with the motherboard chipset, ATI with graphics. |

| #5: I think MS's choice for ATI had probably more to do with a combination of better technology & a more attractive price. There's not too many other chip developers that could have taken nVidia's place. |
