NVIDIA's GPU License Plan Illustrates System-Design Transformation
June 28, 2013
Is NVIDIA's decision to license its Kepler GPU core a stunningly shrewd business move that brings a compact, powerful but low-power piece of IP into the SoC design world? Or is it a Hail Mary pass destined to slip past outstretched hands?
The cop-out answer, of course, is "it's too early to tell," but let's walk through the scenarios because NVIDIA's decision is emblematic of the roiling change in system design today.
