Graphics chipmaker Nvidia has reported a loss of $141m in the second quarter of the year, up from a $104m loss in the same period in 2009.
Nvidia said that the demand for consumer GPUs had weakened due to surging memory prices and weakening economic conditions in China and Europe. The result was a larger trend towards budget PC systems with lower end graphics cards or integrated graphics solutions.
In the same quarter the International Trade Commission ruled that Nvidia was infringing Rambus patents with the result that it would order an exclusion banning the importation of Nvidia products. Nvidia said it plans to appeal the decision. Rambus has been active for over ten years suing memory makers that refused to licence the firm's technology.
