NVidia, AMD subpoenaed in antitrust investigation

mustardayonnaise writes: CNN Money is reporting that graphics chipmakers Nvidia and AMD (having recently acquired NVidia rival ATI) said Friday that they received subpoenas from the US Department of Justice as part of a probe into potential antitrust violations involving graphics processing units and cards. Each company controls about 25% of the entire graphics chip market. Funny, I would've assumed they controlled a great deal more than that. According to the article, Intel, who makes their own fair share of graphics chipsets, has yet to be included in the investigation.
