In terms of corporate relationships, NVIDIA and Intel tend not to be the best of friends. With a dispute over the production of Intel chipsets ongoing, NVIDIA has opted to poke fun at the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer by launching a site dubbed Intel's Insides.
Described by NVIDIA as "a parody of events occurring within the semiconductor sector, with particular focus on its largest, and most-commented-upon competitor," the site shows caricatures of Intel CEO Paul Otellini making Godfather-like offers that have recently come under the scrutiny of the law.
Although the site's five cartoons currently focus on Intel, we wouldn't be surprise to see other companies soon featured in NVIDIA's firing line. AMD springs first to mind.
Global corporations attempting to belittle one another is nothing new, of course - the likes of Apple have been doing it for years - but in all good conscience, we couldn't say we didn't find NVIDIA's caricatures to be just a touch amusing.
What do you think, readers? Good attempt at humour, or bad taste on the part of NVIDIA?
