We picked up a little conjecture on Saturday that suggested NVIDIA was set to quit the chipset market due to poor uptake of upcoming chips. Digitimes now reports that NVIDIA has fired back to say that it's just not true.

Senior director of corporate marketing Michael Jong said that the claims were entirely without merit. The release points to various indicators as to why the situation is rosier than painted: NVIDIA held a 60% share of chipsets on AMD last quarter, their MCP sales are as strong as ever, and the 790i is an editor favorite the world over.

NVIDIA has been whipped into a fervor over the recent allegations. Public commentary from big green has called for a retraction on more than one occasion.
