Nvidia控诉高通垄断
手机芯片市场，要求赔偿 - Nvidia,英伟达,高通 - IT资讯
北京时间4月6日晚间消息，据伦敦一法庭周二公布的一份文件显示，Nvidia指控高通滥用其市场主导地位，导致Nvidia被迫退出手机芯片市场。
该文件显示，Nvidia声称，正是因为高通非法滥用其市场主导地位，才导致Nvidia被迫关闭自己的移动宽带芯片组业务，包括刚刚收购4年时间的Icera部门。Nvidia 2011年斥资3.67亿美元整体收购了Icera基带业务。2015年，Nvidia就宣布关闭该业务部门。
Nvidia还称，虽然一些潜在客户已经同意或有强烈意愿购买Nvidia的芯片组，但高通的一些非法策略导致Nvidia延迟交货，市场需求下滑，无法与客户签署合同。
在Nvidia向高通索赔之前，欧盟已经对高通的销售策略展开了反垄断调查。欧盟去年曾表示，从2009年至2011年，高通采取“掠夺性定价”来遏制Icera日益增长的竞争威胁，最终将Icera踢出市场。
当前，高通是全球最大的手机芯片厂商，很大一部分利润来自于专利授权。许多手机厂商都要向高通支付授权费，无论是否使用其芯片。为此，高通的这种商业行为引发了多个国家的反垄断调查。
根据这份法庭文件显示，Nvidia希望法庭裁定高通滥用其市场地位，并要求高通做出相应的赔偿。
