NVIDIA develops notebook external graphics

Intel Sandy Bridge and AMD Fusion APU are integrating the graphics card into the processor, which will undoubtedly squeeze the survival space of the discrete graphics card and force NVIDIA to find other solutions, such as an external discrete graphics card for the notebook.

Rene Haas, general manager of NVIDIA’s notebook graphics business, recently revealed that in addition to the continued introduction of newer mobile graphics cards in the future, NVIDIA is also developing its own external notebook video card, allowing mobile users to truly enjoy the game, but he did not disclose any specific details, but said AMD's similar "Lasso" project has opened up a good head, is a correct direction of development, but there are still many defects, the implication is that users should wait for NVIDIA better products.

In fact, as long as more than half a year ago, Rene Hass expressed his preference for notebook external graphics cards, and now is the first time to confirm that NVIDIA is engaged in related projects.

In addition, Ujesh Desai, general manager of the NVIDIA GeForce desktop graphics business, talked about the relationship with Intel. He thinks that Intel is a great company and of course NVIDIA's competitor, but the two have a chance to go very close, such as Optimus technology for intelligent switching of notebook graphics cards. He claims that Intel likes NVIDIA to make its notebooks use less power. Longer battery life.

Interestingly, an anonymous person at NVIDIA said: "Of course we are afraid of Intel."
