When a company CEO starts spinning PR bullshit you can immediately tell how bad things are going for that particular company.

Take Jen-Hsun Huang and his much prided NVIDIA as a shining example of this — they are losing market-share by the minute. Intel eating them from the bottom with cheap (and for the majority of people good enough) integrated GPUs, and ATI finishing the leftovers (mainstream and high-end) with HD 5850 and HD 5870. Add the Intel's Larrabee, which is in the pipeline — Godzilla designed to eat NVIDIA's CUDA before it entrenches itself in HPC market, and the future for NVIDIA is looking pretty grim... err, green... from envy.

In his latest interview, Jen-Hsun Huang demonstrated excellent command of PR spinning — so good that even he seems to believe what he is saying. Mind you, I was a fan of NVIDIA technology for a long time, but I cannot stand by, and listen to any more of their crap, hence this rant.

Even bribes and kickbacks can't stop somebody from buying our graphics processors.

No, but a bumpgate affair, then some repeated re-branding of the same three-year old architecture, keeping prices undeservingly high, blocking anti-aliasing in Batman: Arkham Asylum when played on ATI hardware, and finally showing a fake Fermi board (or as I like to call it FakeMe™) can.

Tactics good for AMD are tactics good for Nvidia.

Interesting, but it obviously does not apply to GPU design and manufacturing, since AMD (ATI) tactics is to get away from monolithic design, while NVIDIA is still attempting to create another behemoth (GF100) as if they suffer from some complex stemming from inferior e-penis (or someone's real penis?) size.

We have far superior products to Intel, that's how we survive by innovating far ahead of (Intel).

Products? What products? Intel has CPUs, chipsets, modem, wired, and wireless networking ICs, flash memory, GPUs, mainboards, SSDs, Larrabee in the works, etc, and NVIDIA has what?!? Only mediocre GPUs, and no one to sell them to, due to their own incompetence.
