Last
July, we were reporting about the on-going legal action dealing with suspected price-fixing agreement between AMD/ATI and NVidia. Among documents against AMD/ATI and NVidia, is an email from NVidia senior vice president of marketing, Dan Vivoli, to ATI's president and chief operating officer, Dave Orton.
Tom's Hardware.fr could get their hands on the entire electronic mail exchange (13 pages) demonstrating that both company were aligning their respective business strategy, while trying to reduce the future market share of forthcoming Intel’s discrete GPU. If there is no clear mention of price agreement in those emails, it will most likely place both companies in trouble in front of the court, and will most likely cost them hundreds million USD.
