Nvidia CEO on x86 Project: "Haven't Found It Yet".

Is Nvidia working on a CPU? With both Intel and AMD working towards integrating GPU and CPU together, Nvidia is left standing on its own with its graphics specialty. This lead to rumors that Nvidia was looking to get into the x86 processor business and going head to head with its already-big competitors. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang told the New York Times that if such a project was going on at his company, he hasnтЂ™t found it yet. тЂњIf we have such a product, I havenтЂ™t found it yet,тЂќ Mr. Huang said. тЂњItтЂ™s just not important right now.тЂќ Obviously even if there was work on an x86 CPU at Nvidia (and the CEO managed to find it), Huang still wouldnтЂ™t be one to reveal the news in a single interview. If Nvidia isnтЂ™t working on a special x86 project in house, it could partner with Via Technologies, which does hold an x86 license from Intel тЂ“ a key piece to the puzzle. Nvidia is rumored to be investing heavily into Via тЂ“ something also denied by Huang. At any rate, weтЂ™ll know for sure at ViaтЂ™s investor meeting later this month.
