Nvidia on Monday licensed an important technology for its graphics cards to work with Intel's latest Nehalem processors, but friction between the vendors over the processor microarchitecture will continue to linger, an analyst said.

Intel-based systems will get richer graphics, and Nvidia will sell more graphics cards.
