nVidia ci annuncia oggi tramite un comunicato stampa, di aver posto le condizioni, accettate da entrambe le èparti, per l'acquisizione del brand di chipset ULi, che farà parte a breve del gruppo nVidia nForce.
Questa acquisizione permetterà ad nVidia di acquisire quindi anche le quote di mercato ULi ottenendo una maggiore supremazia di mercato che, purtroppo, molto facilmente, si concretizzerà in un aumento del costo dei chipset che graveranno a carico dell'utente finale.

Eccovi il comunicato stampa:

TAIPEI, TAIWAN and SANTA CLARA, CA—DECEMBER 14, 2005— NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in programmable graphics processor technologies, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire ULi Electronics Inc.

ULi is recognized for its innovative core logic technology as well as other multimedia and embedded products. The acquisition represents NVIDIA’s ongoing investment in its platform solution strategy, which leverages the acclaimed NVIDIA nForce® media and communications processors (MCPs) and NVIDIA® GeForce® and NVIDIA Quadro® graphics processing units (GPUs).

Under the terms of the agreement, NVIDIA will pay 19 New Taiwan Dollars in cash for each outstanding ULi share and stock option, for a total of approximately $52 million (USD). The acquisition, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2007, remains subject to the satisfaction of regulatory requirements and other customary closing conditions.
Alex Kuo, president and chief executive officer, ULi, will join NVIDIA as a senior executive responsible for MCP sales, marketing, and support functions in Asia. NVIDIA intends to supply ULi customers with current products for the foreseeable future.
