nVidia has responded to Intel’s dispute last month, which saw Intel wishing to take nVidia to court regarding Intel’s “Nehalem” (Core i7) processors and nVidia’s right to manufacture i7 motherboards.

nVidia had no other choice, according to company CEO and president Jen-Hsun Huang:

“Nvidia did not initiate this legal dispute, but we must defend ourselves…Intel’s actions are intended to block us from making use of the very license rights that they agreed to provide.”"

The dispute concerns a joint agreement by Intel and nVidia in 2004, which gave nVidia the legal right to manufacture motherboards for Intel’s processors. Last month Intel decided to sue nVidia, stating in their lawsuit that the 2004 agreement didn’t include Intel’s Nehalem processors.
