During an exclusive press conference for Taiwan media, Nvidia president and CEO Huang Jen-hsun has denied rumors that Nvidia may shift foundry orders for its TegrPro-Acessors from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) to Globalfoundries, and emphasized Nvidia's strong partnership with TSMC.

Huang also explained that the company's decreased GPU market share is mainly because the company launched only two high-end DirectX 11-supporting Fermi-based GPUs in the second quarter, giving AMD a chance of advancing in the mainstream market, but as Nvidia has already prepared a full series of Fermi-based products, the company should start seeing its market share rising gradually each month with a pick-up in sales from discrete graphics cards for the notebook and desktop segments.

Nvidia has already launched the high-end GeForce GTX480/470 and mainstream GTX 460 and GTS 450, and is set to launch its entry-level GT 430 to fill up the gap in its new GPU series soon, Huang revealed.

Despite that the current global economy is fluctuating quickly and it is difficult to accurately estimate the PC market status for the fourth quarter, Huang noted that he is optimistic about PC market demand in the quarter, since demand remains strong in China, while Europe and the US are seeing demand recovering gradually. Meanwhile, the company also saw its third-quarter sales perform stronger than in the second.

Facing both Intel and AMD pushing CPU and GPU combinations, Huang pointed out that CPU and GPU calculation methods are complicated, developing technologies to package them together is a difficult challenge and if any problem occurs, it could seriously delay the launch of products. The fact that the launch of AMD's Fusion was delayed for two years and has even weaker performance than Intel's current GPU-integrated CPUs, while Intel's Sandy Bridge CPU currently can only support DirectX 10.1, shows the difficulty of combining the two together.

Huang also noted that Intel's Ivy Bridge CPU for 2012 is unlikely to get it out of its current troubles; therefore, the company is not concerned about the situation and believes Nvidia will have an irreplaceable role in GPU parallel calculation technologies.

一边说PC和x86要覆灭，一边看看好PC的显卡需求，做人能不能更虚伪？
一边说Arm的知识授权模式好，一边自己出产品而不是学PowerVR卖授权，是不是更虚伪？

补虚伪要破产

老黄就是这么自信，绝对用飘柔的。
