As we touched on just the other day, it’s not uncommon to see companies using various forms of creative advertising to get their point across. Again, the most common example to fall back on is Apple vs. Microsoft, as the TV spots that continually poke fun at everything Microsoft are memorable, whether you want them to be or not. But, there’s also another rivalry that never seems to wane… and that’s Intel vs. NVIDIA.
Actually, that should be “NVIDIA vs. Intel”, because the majority of the time, it’s the green team who’s poking fun. In its latest round of creative jabs, NVIDIA has hired an artist to create a few comics for its site, “Intel Insides”. Yes, that’s the name of an NVIDIA-owned site, believe it or not. And despite the fact that Intel is in the title, NVIDIA states that the site’s particular focus is on the “largest, and most commented-upon competitor”, but it seems as though we could expect comics featuring companies aside from Intel in the future. AMD, perhaps?
Intel in no way finds any of these remotely funny I’m sure, but I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the one below. I certainly don’t believe the comic to be representative of how things really are, but it’s creative nonetheless. You can check out the site for all five comics posted so far.
