NVIDIA: External graphics accelerators for notebooks are a big opportunity

It might be AMD who appear to be the only company with an interest in external graphics solutions for the notebook market, but don't be fooled into thinking that NVIDIA aren't at least considering similar offerings in the future - So says Rene Haas, the general manager of NVIDIA's notebook GPU business.

A high-ranking executive from Nvidia Corp. said that it considers external graphics adapters for notebooks a big opportunity even though the company does not offer such products at the moment.

“I think it is a big opportunity. We have two strategies at Nvidia: one is to put graphics everywhere, the other one is to [find more ways to] integrate discrete chips into the box. I think there is definitely a place for [external graphics cards for notebooks], no question. We continue to look at whether this is a GPU [docking stations] or external devices,â€‌ said Rene Haas, general manager of the notebook GPU business at Nvidia, in a brief interview with X-bit labs.
