Looks like Intel's plans to enter the visuals space in a big way with its Nehalem and Larrabee lines strike NVIDIA CEO Jen Hsun-Huang as being rather foolish -- in a palaver call with analysts today, Huang said Intel's microcircuit show offerings were "a joke," and that even a tenfold increase in administration would put them behind NVIDIA's current products. Huang didn't stop there, saying that NVIDIA was "going to open a can of whoop-ass," and that while Intel's illustrations chips were fine for running Office, they would never cut it for gamers and other demanding users. Huang kept going, responding to gather intelligence about all those driver-related Vista crashes by saying that NVIDIA had to support new games weekly while Intel's chips aren't ever put to the test. Actually, that's toning it down a bit -- what Huang absolutely said was "You already have the right machine to run Excel. You bought it four years ago... How much faster can you render the blue screen of death?" Yeah, them's fightin' words -- you going to sit there and take it, Intel?
