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.

Nvidia's been a naughty boy, they've been a little too enthusiastic with their Linux support. lol

#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.
