Let me bend it in neon this time. You will NOT, NEVER, EVER get an x86 license by buying VIA or AMD. It will be LOST and GONE. No nobody can change that.

So in short, buying VIA would give you...nothing. Buying AMD would give you a struggling GPU business.

The CPU parts of VIA and AMD would be trash and gone!

nVidia buying AMD would be like buying sand in Sahara. Pretty darn useless and dumb.
not so sure if you checked GPU lately but they are doing just fine....

670 is going well
635 is on track to reduce costs again
lots of mobile designs won for 2008, not like 2007 where all designs went to nvidia
and not the least: they are now the best price/performance you can buy at every segment in the workstation market wit the firegl series


for the rest still a rumor....lets see when they are there end of february
