Intel man slaps down Nvidia CEO

After Nvidia's CEO criticised its "Moorestown" Z6 series of Atom processors, Intel has waded into the graphics chip maker. Nvidia's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, was asked about the prospects for Intel's new in a recent interview with Laptopmag.com.

He said that “you could give an elephant a diet but it's still an elephant" implying that Intel Atom processors are too big and too power hungry to be viable in smartphones.

However, according to Cnet, Intel's Anand Chandrasekher, a senior vice president, was not going to take those comments lying down. He told a Barclays Capital conference that the “famous Jen-Hsun” needed to get his facts straight and “his math checked.”
