Brings up some points...
Not only is Intel ATI's "most important" customer, but this makes some problems between AMD and Nvidia.
Nvidia makes a lot of chipsets for AMD boards... technically Nvidia is now a competitor.
I wonder what this will do? Nvidia making chipsets for a competitor's board, or will they do a switcharoo and have Intel using a lot more Nvidia?

An interesting twist to the deal is that Nvidia, which has been one of AMD's most important chipset partners in the past, will now become one of the key competitors of AMD. "We understand that and we welcome that," said AMD president and chief operating officer Dirk Meyer.

You are correct...
