The manufacturer of graphics-processor technologies for workstations, Nvidia Corporation on Thursday announced that it has filed a countersuit against Intel Corporation for breach of contract. Nvidia reported that it has filed the countersuit in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, seeking to terminate Intel's license to its valuable patent portfolio.
The countersuit by Nvidia came after Intel filed a lawsuit against Nvidia, last month in the Delaware court, in which Intel alleged that the four-year-old chipset license agreement does not apply to its next generation CPUs with "integrated" memory controllers, such as its Nehalem processor, the chips that Apple is now using in the new Mac Pro. It prevents Nvidia from developing a compatible chipset that Apple could use in Macs based on the new processor.
