Nvidia take satirical swipe at Intel with launch of new site

nVidia won't be winning themselves over with the enthusiast public with their latest antics - they have launched a site with satirical cartoons taking pot shots at Intel.

The site is called Intel's Insides which the company claim is "is intended to be a parody of events occurring within the semiconductor sector, with particular focus on its largest, and most-commented-upon competitor."

The cartoons seem to poke fun at Intel's president and chief executive officer Paul Otellini and are insinuating that they are complicit in the anti competitive practices the company is being sued for.

Images also show a Godfather-style figure with a name plaque reading Otellini stating that "we'll make them a microprocessor offer they can't refuse," and a Moses figure delivering the "Law of Moore" from on a mountain marked "IDF" to an empty landscape.

Nvidia say its a light hearted bit of fun, but many people are going to take this as a very childlish attack on another leading company. Check it out over here

I'm not sure what they are trying to say with the Moses cartoon. That they could do better?

Re: Nvidia take satirical swipe at Intel with launch of new site

Perhaps Nvidia should start making CPUs (not for netbooks either), then make fun of Intel. Hell, even a DX11 GPU would do right now.

They might be: nVidia x86 Rumors Flare Up Again - InternetNews.com

And Fermi should take care of DX11 hopefully.
