Interestingly, while Intel is preparing to dig out graphics design talents from nvidia and ATI, NVIDIA has hired several top designers from Intel x86 processors.

These former intel engineers used to work in a small company named stexar, which primarily developed DSP, GPU, and other cutting-edge chip technologies. In February August, the company went bankrupt due to poor operations. A few days ago, inquirer received news that a large number of stexar engineers have been recruited by NVIDIA to work at the NVIDIA Portland Design Center.

Let's take a look at the background of stexar's main management members:

CEO: Randy Steck, Pentium Pro, II/III/IV Development Team Leader
Vice President of Marketing: once at Intel, cyrix, NVIDIA, and Cirrus Logic
Vice president of engineering: Gary Brown, Northwood design and programming Manager
Chief architecture designer: Darrell Boggs, chief architect of Pentium 4 netbust architecture, also participated in hyperthreading

Well, these people are top design talents of X86 processors. Does NVIDIA want these people to make plans for some future plans? After all, ATI and AMD have been merged, while Intel is trying to revitalize its graphics business. Maybe NVIDIA will use its CPU in the future to combat both AMD and Intel.
