NVIDIA to buy AGEIA Technologies

nvidia_logo2.jpg There couldn't be a better story than this to begin my day. Just imagine NVIDIA acquiring Ageia! If you still don't get it than lets put it in a simple line -- NVIDIA graphics will get even more powerful and ATI (now AMD) will have a really tough ride ahead. Ageia is currently industry leader in gaming physics technology. Its PhysX software is widely adopted with more than 140 PhysX-based games shipping or in development on Sony Playstation3, Microsoft XBOX 360, Nintendo Wii and Gaming PCs. So now after this buyout we'll see lot of GeForce-accelerated PhysX cards, which will provide performance like never before.

"The AGEIA team is world class, and is passionate about the same thing we are—creating the most amazing and captivating game experiences," stated Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO of NVIDIA. "By combining the teams that created the world's most pervasive GPU and physics engine brands, we can now bring GeForce®-accelerated PhysX to hundreds of millions of gamers around the world."

"NVIDIA is the perfect fit for us. They have the world's best parallel computing technology and are the thought leaders in GPUs and gaming. We are united by a common culture based on a passion for innovating and driving the consumer experience," said Manju Hegde, co-founder and CEO of AGEIA.
