Things tend to go from bad to worse when you keep your prime manufacturing partners out of the loop when it comes to defects you found in your product. So much so that you tend to lose business with the very people that are in a great position to sell millions of your chips.

That may be the case with Apple avoiding Nvidia according to SemiAccurate. With the “bumpgate” issue that lead to an unknown, but presumably large, number of failures for Apple and other computer manufacturers.

Nvidia might just see themselves shut out of many designs over the coming years, hopefully they can keep themselves going with their Tegra business line which has seen its fair share of adopters.
